It was after 6 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry night, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and I were relaxing there discussing the recent football results, ready for the seventh call that day to come in. Finally we got a call from a girl on a business trip who had gone to the Esso filling station in Stanton-by-Dale and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Hyundai hire car by mistake. She was fairly agitated apparently, telling me "I can not believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to worry, plus that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to relocate the car to a safe space and, because it was just a few miles away from us, we were able to get to the woman without delay. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to return to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off satisfied and much less concerned. Yet another job in Derbyshire done well in my books!

Here are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Derbyshire we have identified more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly a result of motorists being unsure of the way to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And most certainly do not start up the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking bay. If you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be an important situation to address in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel will produce idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases fairly quickly.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car parking spot we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container in the rear of the garden with old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Derbyshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a shed, assuming that we can access it, we can drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Stanton-by-Dale (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to fill your vehicle. They are also able to deal with any of the normal issues which could go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
