We're just a call away.

It was around 6 pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it had not ceased raining! Ray and I were relaxing talking about the weekend's football results, waiting around for the sixth job to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Oxcroft and put petrol in her diesel Fiat hire car. The poor thing was fairly affected it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe I've messed up the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car I had forgot I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure area and, as it was just a short distance from us, we could get to the lady almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worth it to see her drive home satisfied and a lot less concerned. Another misfuel correction in Derbyshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Derbyshire we are discovering more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of people not understanding the way to work with it (important: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As the product is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And most definitely do not crank the motor - not even to shift it into a parking place. In case you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank can contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of fully, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both cases fairly simply.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container placed at the rear of your garden with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Derbyshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a garage, if we are able to get to it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Oxcroft (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your vehicle if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) and refill your vehicle. They will take care of any of the standard problems that might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Oxcroft - Oxcroft Wrong Fuel Assist

A gentleman called us from his residence on a close in Oxcroft. He exclaimed, "My car (a Skoda) is not starting and is creating very bad sounds when I flip the ignition." He confessed that he had put petrol in his diesel car but then imagined he would fix the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We arrived promptly, performed the drain and filled him up again with fresh Diesel. He told us he would be absolutely sure to advise people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to get it cleaned out right away.
