It was close to eight pm on a Friday and though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and me were relaxing there talking about the recent tennis rankings, waiting around for the 8th call that day to come in. Eventually we received the call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Stonegravels and put petrol in a diesel BMW hire car in error. She was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, crying "I still can't believe I have wrecked the car! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to fret, plus that such things regrettably can happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a protected position and, seeing as it was just a few minutes from the office, we could reach the woman almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off calm and a lot less worried. Another misfuel correction in Derbyshire done well in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Derbyshire we have identified an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of drivers not understanding how to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Because the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it immediately. And most definitely take care not to start up the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be an important issue to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol will bring about idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both situations rather swiftly.

Bear in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to an automobile parking spot we are able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container sitting in the rear of the garden with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial premises in Derbyshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some containers in an outbuilding, if we can get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Stonegravels (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your vehicle if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and refill the car. They are also able to fix the normal problems that might come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.
