It was about ten pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and me were resting there talking over the recent rugby rankings, waiting for the seventh telephone call to arrive. Eventually we had a call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Cowley and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Mazda rental car in error. She was rather irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to worry, and that things like this can happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a safe space and, seeing as it was only a few minutes from us, we could reach the customer almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive away satisfied and not so anxious. Another job in Derbyshire well done in my opinion!

We can help you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Derbyshire we are discovering progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree stemming from people not knowing the right way to use it (pay attention: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained asap. And definitely do not start the engine - not even to relocate it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you may in all probability have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important condition to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can potentially result in idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both situations rather simply.

Be aware however that if the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir at the rear of the garden with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Derbyshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some containers in a garage, if we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Cowley (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill up your car or truck. They can also take care of the standard issues that could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Cowley - Cowley Wrong Fuel Doctor

A person called us from Cowley to say he had foolishly piped unleaded in his diesel Kia. "Unbelievable! How could I put the wrong fuel in my beautiful diesel car!" It took the fuel drainer approximately 50 minutes to fully drain the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. He thoroughly purged the fuel lines, filter and pumps and after that put fresh diesel in the car. The customer was thrilled and it didn't cost him dealer prices to get the work properly completed.
