It was just before 5 pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were relaxing talking over the weekend's football, waiting around for the sixth call of the day to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a woman on a company trip who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Clay Cross and put petrol in a diesel Volkswagen lease car by mistake. She was rather agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and that such things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure space and, since it was just a few minutes away from the office, we could find the customer quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive off contented and not so anxious. Another fuel drain in Derbyshire done well in my opinion!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Derbyshire we have discovered more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly stemming from people not understanding the way to to make use of (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mainly 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 will not work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained immediately. And of course be careful not to turn over the car - not even to relocate it into a parking area. In case you did start the car you would very likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel will bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both circumstances rather simply.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will likely be wholly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank sitting at the back of your premises full of aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial properties in Derbyshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Clay Cross (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and refill your car or truck. They will fix any of the typical problems that may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
