It was about six pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were resting there talking about the recent sports results, waiting for the next telephone call of the day to arrive. Before long we had a phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Fernilee and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Suzuki lease car by mistake. The poor thing was very agitated it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things unfortunately often happen. She managed to get the car to a protected space and, since it was only a short distance away from us, we could reach the lady quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home calm and much less apprehensive. Another job in Derbyshire done well in my mind!

Our Fields of Specialties: Services We Provide:

Helping you get back on the road is our number 1 goal.

AdBlue Contamination

How to handle it if you?ve poured Adblue in a Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a solution made out of a blend of urea and deionized water.It is certainly harmful to your automobile's fuel system, particularly in cases where you run the engine with Adblue in the diesel fuel tank. Once the engine has been switched on the Adblue will likely be pushed into the fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, triggering devastating and costly problems to your automobile's fuel system.

If you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And certainly never start the engine - not even to move it to a parking place. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may very likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol can potentially cause idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations quite easily.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel reservoir sitting at the back of the garden full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in Derbyshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even several containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Fernilee (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your car if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill your automobile. They are also able to take care of any of the usual issues which might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

We arrived quickly, performed the drain and filled it up again with fresh Diesel. He told us he would be certain to tell people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to get it cleaned out right away.
