It was close to seven pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Paul and I were relaxing there commenting on the weekend's rugby, prepared for the 6th call that day to come in. Eventually we had a phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Boythorpe and filled petrol in a diesel Peugeot hire car in error. She was rather troubled apparently, telling me "I can't believe I've wrecked the car! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that such things do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a protected position and, since it was just a short distance off from our van, we could arrive at the lady almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could get back to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off relaxed and less concerned. Yet another job in Derbyshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Derbyshire we have seen a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly as a consequence of people not being aware of the way to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find yourself in this position don?t panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination business. Our technicians possess the technical know-how and working experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant issue to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol will likely contribute to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases pretty expediently.

Remember though that if the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a vehicle parking bay we can reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir at the back of your garden with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial premises in Derbyshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even several drums in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Boythorpe (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill your vehicle if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) and refill the car. They will deal with the common issues which may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Boythorpe - Boythorpe Fuel Removal

A couple of days ago a motorist called us soon after his Honda cut out along a street in Boythorpe. He had mistakenly put the wrong fuel in his diesel car and got to the road before having to pull over. It was early in the morning and our technical engineer, who stays close by, reached him in approximately a quarter hour. We were able to remove the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in to the vehicle. "Thank you for your prompt response, and in particular at 6 a.m., I really am grateful for it."
