Fuel Rescue Sandiacre - Sandiacre Petrol in Diesel

What a good night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Bank Holiday Monday and we were off to help an older sweetheart after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel Citroen in Sandiacre. She told us that she had left the filling station forecourt and broken down along a country road along the way to see her family. I popped her location in the TomTom and was on-scene in less than an hour. I got to the stricken lady and drained the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing the work she told me, "Now I'm getting quite absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel since I'd only bought it a short while back because my previous car, which I had used for in excess of 25 years, finally died". I got the drain done and she presented me a Murray mint and said thank you. Such a lovely Derbyshire woman!

Our Fields of Expertise: Services We Provide:

We can assist you with all these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Derbyshire we are encountering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part caused by motorists not understanding the right way to use it (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it at once. And definitely don't crank the motor - not even to shift it to a parking area. In cases where you did start the car you will most likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a serious matter to deal with in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel can certainly lead to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not addressed correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both circumstances quite quickly.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car parking spot we are able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel tank lying at the back of your premises full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in Derbyshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a garage, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Sandiacre (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your automobile if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to fill up your vehicle. They can also fix the normal troubles which can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

He had inadvertently put unleaded in his diesel vehicle and got as far as the road before needing to stop. It was early in the day and our technician, who stays nearby, reached him in less than 15 minutes. We were able to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel back into the car. "Sincere kudos to you for your fast response, especially at 5 a.m., I appreciate it."

It truly was an unsociable time to be up. It was around 3 in the morning and nobody was around. It had become pretty quiet up to now, and me and Ray were sitting around perusing some old articles. It was an unusual calm moment in Derbyshire. It was in fact that calm that when the telephone finally rang it made me start! The voice explained: "I just ended my night shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in the Audi in error". I instructed him to tell us exactly where the vehicle was situated and we set off, getting to him in Sandiacre no more than an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was removed from the car. He thanked us for getting there so promptly. As we were returning home we saw two girls at the side of the highway who appeared to have a puncture. So we stopped to help them change it, to their elation.

A man had broken down just near a road in Sandiacre. His Renault car had stopped functioning and he had no clue what was the problem until eventually he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He called us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I cannot believe that I did not realise that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He claimed that he had got very little sleep the day before and that could have been the reason.
