These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Derbyshire we have encountered more and more examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from motorists not understanding the way to to make use of (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And of course don't turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. Assuming you did start the car you will almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel will likely result in idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations rather quickly.

You should know that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank laying at the rear of the garden full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and industrial properties in Derbyshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even a few containers in an outbuilding, if we can get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Stony Houghton (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your vehicle any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your automobile. They will deal with any of the usual troubles that could come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
