Do you or your employees usually misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any connected issues.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Derbyshire we have discovered more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially due to motorists not understanding the way to use it (important: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the car.

So, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it asap. And absolutely don't turn over the motor - not even to shift it into a parking bay. Assuming you did start the car you will in all probability need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel is going to produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations rather quickly.

You should know that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to an automobile parking bay we can access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir placed in the rear of your garden full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial properties in Derbyshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Tapton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and refill your car or truck. They will take care of any of the most common troubles that could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
