Wrong Fuel in Car Sunny Hill, Derbyshire

Our Areas of Experience :

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Derbyshire we have identified an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a result of drivers not understanding the right way to work with it (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it immediately. And most definitely take care not to crank the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. In case you have started the vehicle you would very likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious matter to handle in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel may well produce idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both cases very quickly.

Keep in mind that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir placed in the rear of your premises containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and business premises in Derbyshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a storage shed, providing we can reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Sunny Hill (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to refill the car. They will be able to deal with any of the typical problems that may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Sunny Hill - Sunny Hill Fuel Drain

A person called us from his residence on a street in Sunny Hill. He said, "My car (a Honda) is not starting and is generating awful sounds when I flip the ignition." He admitted that he put petrol in his diesel car however believed he would resolve the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, did the fuel drain and filled him up once more with untainted Diesel. He told us he'd be sure to educate people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to have it drained right away.

We performed a wrong fuel retrieval exercise on the drive of a lovely property in Sunny Hill recently. "I put unleaded in my diesel car and was able to very nearly arrive at home when my car stopped." Our technician went out, despite the fact that it was rather late at night, and performed a full fuel drain and purge on the Nissan .

Wrong Fuel Sunny Hill - Sunny Hill Petrol in Diesel

This was most definitely an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was about sunrise and noone was around. It was fairly dead so far, and Ray and I were loafing around reading a number of old articles. That was an unusual peaceful hour in Derbyshire. It was that tranquil that the instant the telephone finally rang I jumped! The motorist said: "I finished my night shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in the Mercedes". We asked him to tell us exactly where the car was located and we hit the road, getting to him in Sunny Hill no more than half an hour later. The fuel was extracted from the engine. He said thanks a lot for arriving so fast. As we were coming back to the depot we found two young women on the edge of the road who seemed to have a flat. Accordingly we got out to change it, much to their elation.
