It was before 10 pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and I were sitting there talking about the recent sports, at the ready for the 8th job to come in. Eventually we received the phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Tomthorn and put the wrong fuel in her diesel mint condition BMW M Roadster rental. The unfortunate lady was pretty distressed it seemed, crying "I still can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to worry, and that things like this unfortunately often happen. She had managed to get the car into a protected area and, seeing that it was only a few miles away from where we were, we were able to find the customer without delay. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the motel she was living in. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive off contented and a lot less worried. One more job in Derbyshire well done in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually an important matter to handle in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines.
Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel tank may lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both cases rather quickly.
Be aware though that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.
Out of Fuel Assistance
Out of fuel in Tomthorn (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill your automobile. They will deal with the typical troubles that can accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Tomthorn - Wrong Fuel in Car Tomthorn
A guy had stopped off a road in Tomthorn. His bright red Kia Sportage car had stopped functioning and he had no clue what was wrong until he realised he put unleaded in his diesel car. He rang us to request a fuel drain and that is when he explained to us: "I can't believe that I did not detect that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He claimed that he had got very little rest the evening before and that must have been the reason.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Tomthorn
Now I'm certainly not that interested in running on weekends, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I had only just left the family following a superb Sunday roast made by the missus, and I was off to help a guy because he filled the incorrect fuel in his yellow Volvo240. He was situated in Tomthorn therefore it wasn't a long time before I reached him. As I pulled up behind the vehicle and stepped out he said to me "Thank the Almighty! I stupidly had my concentration on other stuff and failed to ascertain I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I caused any damage by simply driving it?" I stated there should not be any problems and also I'd get the fuel drained at once for him. Naturally I removed the fuel from the car and put in some correct fuel, and thus yet another satisfied motorist had the ability to continue his traveling without the fuss. The gentleman couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and this is what makes operating on weekends in Derbyshire a tiny bit better in my opinion!
