This is what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Derbyshire we have seen an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly stemming from motorists being unsure of the right way to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And most certainly be careful not to start up the car - not even to move it away from the pump. Assuming you have started the car you would most likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol may well cause idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both situations very quickly.

Be aware that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel tank lying at the rear of your premises with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial properties in Derbyshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run out of fuel in Ridgeway (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home.

They can also handle the normal troubles that can go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Ridgeway - Ridgeway Petrol in Diesel

I enjoyed a terrific afternoon golfing during the weekend and was feeling contented with myself the next day as I set off to help a new couple who were on holiday in Ridgeway. They broken down after putting diesel into their Mercedes, and the car was approximately an hour's drive away. I arrived at their location and smirked as I listened to the girl telling her hubby off for turning out to be so stupid. "Precisely how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this kind of thing comes to pass continuously in Derbyshire and that it is nothing to worry about, but he all the same got an ear bashing by his better half. Unlucky guy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed all the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some right fuel. As they drove down the road I mouthed good bye and thought about what her indoors would do to me if ever I made the exact same mistake... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!
