It was about six pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't ceased raining! Brian and me were sitting talking over the weekend's rugby rankings, at the ready for the next call that day to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Darley Hillside and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Skoda rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to fret, plus that things like this unfortunately often happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a safe position and, since it was just a short distance away from our van, we were able to reach the customer rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact we got very drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive off contented and much less concerned. Another job in Derbyshire well done in my books!

Services We Provide:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Derbyshire we have found a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly due to motorists being unsure of the way to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And certainly take care not to turn over the motor - not even to shift it into a parking bay. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important matter to take care of in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel is likely to contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both circumstances quite quickly.

You should know though that if the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir in the rear of your premises with old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial properties in Derbyshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a shed, if we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Darley Hillside (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to refill the car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) to fill your automobile. They can also handle any of the normal issues which might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Darley Hillside - Darley Hillside Wrong Fuel in Car

A man had conked out off a street in Darley Hillside. His Skoda motor had stopped working and he had no idea what was wrong until he realised he had put petrol in his diesel car. He rang us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I can't believe that I didn't comprehend that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had gotten virtually no rest the evening before and that could have been the reason.
