It was around 10 pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and me were resting going over the tennis results, waiting for the 8th telephone call of the day to come in. Finally we got the call from a young lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Bradwell Hills and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Peugeot rental car. The poor lady was very distressed apparently, crying "I just can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that these things sadly can happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a safe spot and, because it was no more than a few miles off from us, we could get to her fairly quickly. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying at. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive away relaxed and much less worried. Another job in Derbyshire done well in my opinion!

Services We Provide:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Derbyshire we are finding increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly due to people not understanding the right way to to make use of (note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it at once. And certainly take care not to start the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. Assuming you did start the car you would in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious condition to address in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol is going to cause idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases very quickly.

Remember that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

We have been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in Derbyshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a storage shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it.
