It was close to eight pm on a Thursday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Mark and me were resting there commenting on the recent footy results, waiting around for the 8th telephone call for the day to come in. Eventually we got a call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Scropton and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Hyundai lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was very agitated apparently, crying "I still cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that such things do happen. She was able to get the car to a secure position and, since it was just a short distance away from our van, we could get to the woman rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home calm and less stressed. Yet another job in Derbyshire well done in my opinion!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Derbyshire we are finding an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to motorists not being totally sure how to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the car.

So, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you discover youself to be in this predicament don?t fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination business. Our technicians possess the practical competence and working experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important situation to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel may contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both circumstances pretty easily.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a vehicle parking bay we are able to access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank laying at the back of the garden containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Derbyshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even several drums in a shed, if we can get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

We can easily help to refill your car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home.
