It was about 6 pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a dry day, it had not stopped raining! James and me were sitting there going over the weekend's footy results, waiting around for the next fuel drain of the day to come in. In due time we had the call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the BP filling station in Darley Dale and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Renault rental. The unfortunate thing was quite agitated apparently, stating "I simply can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to worry, also that these things sadly happen. She was able to get the car into a protected space and, since it was only a few miles from where we were, we could reach the customer without delay. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home satisfied and much less concerned. Another misfuel correction in Derbyshire done well in my books!

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Derbyshire we have discovered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly due to motorists not being totally sure how to work with it (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it right away. And absolutely do not start up the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. In case you have started the vehicle you may most likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel can potentially trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations fairly swiftly.

Remember however that any time the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel container lying in the back of the garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and commercial premises in Derbyshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to access it, we are able to empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Darley Dale (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to refill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to refill your car. They will deal with any of the usual problems which could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
