It was before 6 pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ryan and I were relaxing talking about the weekend's golf rankings, waiting around for the next telephone call to arrive. Inevitably we had a call from a young lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Birch Vale and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Jaguar rental by mistake. The poor lady was rather affected by the sounds of it, stating "I simply can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that things like this regrettably often happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a secure position and, seeing that it was just a few minutes from us, we were able to reach the lady almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was living at.

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your vehicle? We can solve any connected problems.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Derbyshire we have discovered an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from people being unsure of the way to work with it (be aware: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the car.

So, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And definitely don't turn over the motor - not even to move it off of the pump. In cases where you have started the car you would in all probability need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can potentially trigger idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases quite swiftly.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to an automobile parking bay we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container sitting in the back of your premises containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and commercial premises in Derbyshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a garage, provided that we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Birch Vale (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your automobile in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home.
