It was just before six pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were resting talking about the weekend's sports results, ready for the 8th job for the day to arrive. Finally we received the call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Swanwick and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Land Rover rental car by mistake. The poor lady was quite agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that things like this regrettably often happen. She managed to get the car to a secure area and, seeing that it was just a few minutes away from the office, we could arrive at the lady rather quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the motel she was staying in. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away contented and not so anxious. Another fuel drain in Derbyshire well done in my opinion!

Our Services:

Below are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Derbyshire we are encountering a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly stemming from motorists not understanding the right way to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Give us a call in the event that you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can take care of every type of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a significant issue to handle in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank is likely to lead to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases pretty simply.

You should know though that whenever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one is going to be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir placed at the back of your garden with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and business premises in Derbyshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a shed, if we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Swanwick (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill your car or truck. They can also fix any of the normal troubles which could accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Swanwick - Swanwick Wrong Fuel

I'd had a fantastic afternoon golfing on my holiday and felt delighted with myself the next day as I set out to aid a new family who were on vacation in Swanwick. They pulled over after filling petrol into their BMW, and were approximately half an hour away. I showed up at their position and smiled to myself as I heard to the lady telling her hubby off for being so silly. "Just how could you possibly be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to clarify that this problem takes place frequently in Derbyshire and that it's in reality nothing at all to fret about, even so he still got an ear bashing. Unfortunate boy. Anyway, I drained the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive off I waved hasta la vista and wondered what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I would never ever live it down!
