Listed here are our top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Derbyshire we have identified a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially thanks to drivers being unsure of how to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained right away. And most certainly don't switch on the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious matter to take care of in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank will likely cause idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both situations very simply.

Keep in mind that as long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel reservoir sitting in the back of the garden full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and business premises in Derbyshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Oxcroft (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a complete Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up the car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up your car or truck. They will take care of the most common problems which can come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Oxcroft - Oxcroft Fuel Rescue

I'd had a wonderful day fishing during the weekend and felt pleased with myself the next morning as I was en route to aid a new couple on holiday in Oxcroft. They had conked out after filling petrol into their Toyota, and were approximately an hour's travel away. I emerged at their car and smirked to myself while I heard to the gal telling her husband off for being so foolish. "How could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this goes on continuously in Derbyshire and that it's truly nothing to stress about, and yet he yet still got an earful. Unlucky boy. Anyways, I extracted all of the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the right fuel. While watching them drive off I shouted goodbye and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I did the same thing... I would personally never hear the end of it!
