It was just after 5 pm on a Friday and though we were assured a dry night, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and I were seated going over the football rankings, waiting around for the 6th telephone call of the day to arrive. Before long we received the phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Lower Thurvaston and put petrol in a diesel apricot Jeep Cherokee hire car in error. She was rather agitated apparently, crying "I simply cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to worry, plus that things like this sadly do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a secure area and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we could reach the customer almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive home satisfied and much less anxious. Another fuel drain in Derbyshire done well in my opinion!

They will deal with the most common problems which could go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Derbyshire we have identified an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially caused by people being unsure of how to to make use of (please note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it asap. And certainly be careful not to crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking area. In case you did start the car you may very likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

If you discover yourself to be in this predicament don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination business. Our engineers possess the practical competence and experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
