Our Areas of Competence :

Below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Derbyshire we are discovering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from drivers not understanding the way to use it (be aware: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As the product is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And certainly never switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking bay. If you have started the car you will probably have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually an important matter to take care of in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel may well cause idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both situations quite swiftly.

Bear in mind that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a car parking spot we are able to reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir placed in the rear of your premises full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial premises in Derbyshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a storage shed, if we can reach it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Middle Handley (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill the car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill up your car. They can also fix the usual problems that might come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Middle Handley - Middle Handley Fuel Rescue

I had enjoyed a terrific evening fishing during my off day and was feeling satisfied the following day as I set off to assist a new family who were holidaying in Middle Handley. They had pulled over after filling petrol into their Suzuki, and they were roughly an hour's travel away. I turned up at their position and smirked to myself while I heard to the wife chastising her man for turning out to be so daft. "Just how could you conceivably be able to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this happens all the time in Derbyshire and that it's nothing to be anxious about, and yet he yet still had an ear bashing. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all of the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the right fuel. While watching them drive away I waved so long and thought about what her indoors would tell me if I made the exact same error... I'd never hear the end of it!
