It was around 7 pm on a Friday and although we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! Brian and me were sitting there talking over the weekend's golf, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Finally we received a call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Osleston and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Citroen lease car. The poor thing was very affected apparently, telling me "I can not believe I've destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to fret, and that things like this sadly do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a safe area and, seeing as it was only a short distance from our van, we were able to reach the woman fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the hotel she was living in. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off relaxed and less apprehensive. Another job in Derbyshire done well in my opinion!

We can help you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Derbyshire we are identifying more and more examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of people not understanding the right way to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the car.

So, what's the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since the product is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to fix different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually an important issue to take care of in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank can certainly produce idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both situations pretty quickly.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to parking spot we can reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank laying in the rear of your premises with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and business premises in Derbyshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a storage shed, if we are able to reach it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Osleston (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up the car any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) and fill your car. They are also able to fix any of the typical troubles that can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Osleston - Osleston Wrong Fuel

I'd had a wonderful afternoon fishing on my afternoon off and was feeling satisfied the next working day as I headed out to assist a new couple who were vacationing in Osleston. They broken down after adding diesel into their Skoda, and they were close to half an hour's travel away. I showed up at their location and laughed while I heard to the girl telling off her spouse for being so foolish. "Exactly how could you conceivably be able to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this goes on all the time in Derbyshire and that it's nothing to worry about, nonetheless he all the same had an ear bashing by his better half. I felt sorry for the guy. At any rate, I drained all the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some correct fuel. Watching as they drove away I mouthed goodbye and thought about what my missus would tell me in the event that I made the same error... I'd never ever hear the end of it!
