Do you or your employees usually misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any associated issues.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Derbyshire we have noticed a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from drivers not being totally sure how to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the car.

So, what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? As the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out asap. And of course do not switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In cases where you have started the car you would most likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious matter to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel may well contribute to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both situations fairly easily.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will probably be wholly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to parking bay we will be able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank at the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Derbyshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can get to it, we can empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in The Forties (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill your car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill up the car. They can also handle the normal problems that can accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel The Forties - The Forties Wrong Fuel Doctor

A man called us from his place on a close in The Forties. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a Volvo) is not starting and is generating very bad sounds when I flip the ignition." He confessed that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would solve the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We arrived promptly, did the fuel drain and filled it up once again with clean Diesel. He told us that he would be sure to inform people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to get it drained immediately.
