It was close to 5 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and I were sitting talking about the footy results, prepared for the sixth call to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Oxcroft and put petrol in a diesel Ford rental car by mistake. The poor lady was very distressed apparently, crying "I can't believe that I have messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to fret, plus that things like this sadly do happen. She managed to get the car into a secure space and, as it was no more than a few minutes off from the office, we were able to arrive at the woman almost instantly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the Premier Inn she was lodging in.

Here are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Derbyshire we are discovering an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly thanks to drivers being unsure of the way to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since the product is mostly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will fix all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a significant issue to deal with in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel will often produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both cases pretty expediently.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car parking spot we can access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

We have been called out to numerous domestic and commercial premises in Derbyshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a shed, as long as we can get to it, we are able to drain it for you.
