It was around seven pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and I were relaxing discussing the golf, prepared for the 8th telephone call that day to arrive. Finally we received a phone call from a girl on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Kirk Hallam and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Mercedes rental by mistake. The poor lady was rather agitated it seemed, telling me "I just can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to fret, and also that these things sadly happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a secure space and, because it was only a short distance away from our van, we were able to get to the lady swiftly. The bad fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive away satisfied and not so worried. Yet another fuel drain in Derbyshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination
In Derbyshire we are discovering progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly stemming from drivers not being aware of the way to use it (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the automobile.
Now, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.
In the event that you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out immediately. And most definitely do not turn over the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking place. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will probably have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious matter to handle in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol can potentially cause idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations pretty swiftly.
Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.
Boat Fuel Drains
If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to parking bay we are able to access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}
Management of Waste Fuel
Have a fuel tank lying at the back of your premises with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and commercial properties in Derbyshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even some drums in a storage shed, if we are able to reach it, we can drain it for you.

Run out of fuel in Kirk Hallam (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to refill the car. They will deal with the usual issues which may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
