It was before five pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and I were relaxing there discussing the weekend's rugby results, prepared for the sixth fuel drain that day to arrive. Before long we got a call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Alkmonton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Citroen hire car. The poor thing was somewhat distressed it seemed, stating "I just can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to fret, and also that things like this sadly often happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected area and, seeing that it was just a short distance from the office, we were able to find the woman fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she could go home to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off satisfied and not so worried. Another job in Derbyshire done well in my books!

Our Areas of Experience :

We can assist you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue Contamination

What you can do in the event that you may have poured Adblue in your Diesel fuel tank? Adblue can be devastating to your vehicle's fuel system, especially any time you have had the engine running with Adblue in your fuel tank. The moment the engine has been started up the Adblue is going to be dragged into your fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, resulting in serious and costly damage to your car's fuel system.

Contact us if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can correct all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a significant condition to take care of in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel may well contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both circumstances quite expediently.

Be aware that as long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container lying in the back of the garden full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and commercial properties in Derbyshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can access it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Alkmonton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill your automobile any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill your automobile. They can also fix the common problems which may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Yesterday a young man called us because his Skoda broke down on a road in Alkmonton. He had inadvertently put unleaded in the diesel car and drove as far as the road before having to give up. It was early in the morning and our engineer, who lives locally, reached him in about fifteen minutes. We managed to drain the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel back into the vehicle. "Thank you for your prompt response, especially at 4 a.m., I truly appreciate it."
