It was after 5 pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a rainless day, it had not given up on raining! Brian and me were resting there talking about the football results, ready for the 8th job of the day to come in. Finally we got a call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Cockyard and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel SEAT hire car. The poor lady was quite troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that these things regrettably do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a safe position and, seeing that it was only a few miles from our van, we were able to get to the customer right away. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to get back to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away contented and not so stressed. Yet another job in Derbyshire well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Experience :

Do you or your employees usually misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any related problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Derbyshire we are discovering progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of people being unsure of the way to use it (note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As the product is predominantly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Give us a call in the event that you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will correct different types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel may result in idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations rather expediently.

Bear in mind that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a vehicle parking bay we can access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir placed at the back of the garden full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and industrial properties in Derbyshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in a storage shed, if we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Cockyard (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) to fill up your vehicle. They are also able to handle the standard issues that can come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Cockyard - Cockyard Fuel Rescue

I'd had a fantastic evening cycling during my afternoon off and felt cheerful the following day as I headed out to help a young family on vacation in Cockyard. They'd stopped after filling diesel into their Mercedes, and the car was roughly an hour's travel away. I got there at their car and laughed as I listened to the woman telling her man off for turning out to be so silly. "Precisely how could you possibly manage to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this takes place on daily basis in Derbyshire and that it's absolutely nothing to get worried about, nonetheless he yet still got his ear bent. Unlucky guy. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some proper fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed so long and wondered what her indoors would tell me if ever I made the very same error... I'd never ever live it down!
