It was after 7 pm on a Wednesday and though we were assured a rainless evening, it had not stopped pouring! Paul and I were resting there going over the weekend's sports, ready for the 8th fuel drain that day to arrive. Inevitably we received the call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Dunston and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel BMW rental. The poor lady was fairly troubled it seemed, saying "I still cannot believe I've ruined the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to fret, and that things like this sadly often happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a protected area and, since it was just a few miles from where we were, we could arrive at the woman fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home relaxed and a lot less stressed. Another fuel drain in Derbyshire done well in my opinion!

Listed below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Derbyshire we have identified increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree a result of drivers not knowing how to work with it (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it immediately. And of course don't turn over the engine - not even to move it away from the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you may probably have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually an important issue to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel can easily cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both circumstances very swiftly.

Take note though that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir lying at the rear of the garden full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and commercial properties in Derbyshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even some containers in a storage shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Dunston (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up the car. They will be able to take care of any of the typical issues which might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Dunston - Dunston Wrong Fuel

I'd had a wonderful day golfing on my off day and was feeling contented with myself the next working day as I set off to aid a new family holidaying in Dunston. They'd stopped after adding the wrong fuel in their Fiat, and were roughly an hour's travel away. I turned up at their car and smirked to myself while I heard to the wife telling her spouse off for being so stupid. "Just how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I attempted to explain that this comes to pass regularly in Derbyshire and that it is nothing to get worried about, and yet he yet still had his ear bent by his better half. Poor lad. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some appropriate fuel. While they drove away I waved good-bye and considered what her indoors would do to me if ever I made the very same error... I would never ever live it down!
