It was about 8 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and I were resting talking over the rugby results, waiting around for the sixth fuel drain that day to come in. Eventually we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Alport and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Hyundai lease car. She was very distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I simply can't believe that I've ruined the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to fret, plus that these things regrettably happen. She had managed to move the car into a protected space and, since it was just a short distance away from where we were, we were able to arrive at her quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive off satisfied and not so anxious. Yet another job in Derbyshire done well in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

All over Derbyshire we have encountered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from drivers not being aware of how to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it at once. And most definitely never start up the engine - not even to move it to a parking bay. If you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel will likely contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both situations quite quickly.

Take note that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank laying in the back of your garden containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Derbyshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a shed, provided that we can access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Alport (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) to refill your automobile. They are also able to deal with the usual troubles that might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Alport - Alport Petrol in Diesel

A guy had conked out just near a street in Alport. His Volkswagen motor had ceased running and he'd no clue what was faulty until eventually he noticed he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He called us to request a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I can't believe that I did not detect that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had got very little sleep the night before and that must have been the reason why.
