It was after 8 pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ryan and I were sitting discussing the rugby, at the ready for the next telephone call of the day to come in. Finally we got the phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Longlane and put petrol in her diesel Hyundai lease car. She was very distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe I have messed up the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that things like this unfortunately often happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a safe position and, since it was only a few miles off from the office, we were able to find the woman fairly quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she could get back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive home relaxed and a lot less stressed. Another job in Derbyshire well done in my opinion!

Services We Deliver:

Below are the top services we provide to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

In Derbyshire we have seen a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly stemming from motorists not being totally sure the right way to work with it (take note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it right away. And definitely don't start the vehicle - not even to move it off the pump. Assuming you did start the car you may in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to address in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank can contribute to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed properly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases quite swiftly.

Be aware however that if the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to an automobile parking spot we can gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir at the rear of your garden full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and business properties in Derbyshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in an outbuilding, providing we can get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Longlane (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up your automobile if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) and fill up the car. They are also able to take care of any of the usual problems which might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
