We're merely a call away.

It was after eight pm on a Friday and while we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and I were relaxing there discussing the tennis rankings, at the ready for the seventh call to arrive. Inevitably we got the phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Upper Langwith and filled petrol in a diesel Hyundai rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was pretty affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to be concerned, also that these things unfortunately happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected space and, since it was only a few miles from our van, we were able to get to the customer rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the motel she was staying at. Although we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off relaxed and not so concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Derbyshire well done in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Derbyshire we have noticed more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to people not being totally sure the way to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the car.

Now, what's the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because the product is primarily deionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it immediately. And obviously don't switch on the motor - not even to shift it from the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you would likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, can be an important issue to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank can easily result in idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both situations pretty simply.

You should know that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will probably be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container placed at the back of the garden containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and industrial premises in Derbyshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even a few containers in a shed, if we can access it, we are able to empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Upper Langwith (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up your car if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) to fill your car or truck. They are also able to handle the most common troubles that might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Last friday a gentleman phoned us because his Audi stopped working in the middle of a road in Upper Langwith. He had mistakenly put unleaded in the diesel vehicle and drove as far as the road before being forced to give up. It was early in the day and our engineer, who stays locally, arrived with him in about a quarter hour. We managed to remove the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel back in the vehicle. "Thank you for your fast response, and in particular at 2 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."
