It was after five pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased pouring! Paul and me were relaxing discussing the weekend's footy, waiting for the next telephone call that day to come in. Eventually we received a phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Inkersall and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel BMW rental car by mistake. She was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I just can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to fret, and also that such things happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing that it was just a few miles from where we were, we could arrive at the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive off contented and much less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Derbyshire well done in my books!

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Derbyshire we have found an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a consequence of motorists not understanding the right way to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained right away. And most certainly don't turn over the motor - not even to shift it away from the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to handle in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel may lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not remedied properly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both cases rather easily.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will likely be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close to a car or truck parking bay we are able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel container laying in the rear of your garden full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in Derbyshire to deal with removing and recycling 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 an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Inkersall (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill the car any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and refill your car or truck. They are also able to fix the normal problems which might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
