It was close to 5 pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Paul and I were resting there commenting on the weekend's sports, at the ready for the sixth telephone call to come in. Inevitably we received a call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Bolsover and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Hyundai rental car in error. She was somewhat distressed it seemed, saying "I still can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that such things can happen. She had managed to move the car to a safe position and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance off from our van, we could arrive at the woman fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could get back to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got really wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off contented and less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Derbyshire done well in my mind!

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

All over Derbyshire we are discovering a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially caused by people not being totally sure how to use it (pay attention: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the car.

Now, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And absolutely don't turn over the motor - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you would probably need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important matter to address in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank may bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not remedied properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both situations rather swiftly.

Be aware however that if the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a car parking bay we can gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir lying at the rear of the garden full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and business premises in Derbyshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a shed, providing we are able to access it, we can empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Bolsover (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your car or truck. They can also take care of the common troubles that could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Bolsover - Bolsover Fuel Drain

A gentleman had conked out near a street in Bolsover. His Suzuki car had ceased working and he had no idea what was awry till he realised he had put petrol in his diesel car. He rang us to get a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I can't believe that I didn't realise that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He claimed that he had got absolutely no rest the evening before and that must have been precisely why.
