If you've put the incorrect fuel in your car and at this point need the wrong fuel removed you are in all likelihood scanning the net looking for a swift, dependable, professional and economical fuel drain company in Sutton on the Hill or Derbyshire. We are the company for your needs!

It was around seven pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were seated there talking over the recent rugby results, at the ready for the next telephone call to arrive. Finally we received a phone call from a girl on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Sutton on the Hill and put petrol in her diesel Mercedes lease car. She was rather distressed apparently, crying "I simply can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to worry, plus that these things often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a secure spot and, because it was only a few miles off from us, we could reach the lady almost instantly. The wrong fuel was removed so she could go home to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got very wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive away contented and not so concerned. A job in Derbyshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

In Derbyshire we are finding a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of drivers not being aware of the right way to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And most definitely don't turn over the vehicle - not even to move it off the pump. If you have started the vehicle you would very likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can potentially result in idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both cases fairly simply.

Remember though that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting at the back of the garden full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and business premises in Derbyshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even numerous containers in a shed, providing we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.
