Services We Provide:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Derbyshire we have discovered more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly stemming from motorists not knowing the way to work with it (please note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out immediately. And definitely be careful not to start the engine - not even to move it from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would most likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to handle in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel may produce idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both circumstances very expediently.

Bear in mind however that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will probably be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container placed in the back of the garden with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and industrial premises in Derbyshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Snelston (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a comprehensive Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill the car any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) and refill your car. They are also able to deal with any of the usual problems which could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Snelston - Snelston Wrong Fuel Drain

A man called us from Snelston to state that he mistakenly pumped unleaded in his diesel Citroen. "Unbelievable! How could I put unleaded in my nice diesel car!" It took the fuel drainer approximately 50 minutes to fully drain the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. He thoroughly cleaned the fuel system and after that put clean diesel in the car. The customer was very pleased and it didn't cost him car dealership rates to get the task properly performed.
