Our Fields of Expertise: Services We Offer:

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Derbyshire we are noticing an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part due to drivers not being totally sure how to use it (important: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to handle all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a serious situation to handle in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel is going to cause idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances pretty quickly.

Remember however that if the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near to a vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir placed in the rear of your premises full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and industrial properties in Derbyshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a storage shed, as long as we can get to it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Coldeaton (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to refill your vehicle if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill up your automobile. They are also able to fix any of the normal problems which can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Coldeaton - Coldeaton Wrong Fuel in Car

A person contacted us from his home on a road in Coldeaton. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a Hyundai) is not starting and is producing dreadful sounds when I flip the key." He confessed that he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then believed he would solve the problem by putting further Diesel on top. We were on scene promptly, performed the fuel drain and filled him up once more with untainted Diesel. He said that he'd be absolutely sure to explain to people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to have it drained immediately.
