It was just before eight pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and me were seated there talking about the weekend's tennis, at the ready for the next fuel drain for the day to come in. In due time we received the phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in The Forties and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Chevrolet rental car. She was very troubled apparently, saying "I cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol car I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to fret, plus that things like this sadly do happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a secure area and, since it was only a short distance from where we were, we could find her without delay. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could get back to the hotel she was living at. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive off calm and not so concerned. A job in Derbyshire done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Competency :

Do you or your drivers frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any connected problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Derbyshire we are noticing progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent due to drivers being unsure of the right way to to make use of (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously take care not to turn over the motor - not even to move it to a parking place. In case you have started the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to deal with in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel may well produce idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both circumstances quite quickly.

Keep in mind however that whenever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank laying at the rear of the garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in Derbyshire to take care of removing and recycling 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 portable bowser, or possibly even some containers in a garage, providing we can access it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in The Forties (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and fill your car or truck. They are also able to take care of any of the most common problems that might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue The Forties - The Forties Wrong Fuel in Car

A customer called us from his house on a road in The Forties. He explained, "My car (a Vauxhall) is not starting up and is creating terrible noises when I flip the key." He said that he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then believed he would resolve the issue by putting more Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, carried out the fuel drain and filled him up once more with untainted Diesel. He told us after that he'd be certain to tell people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to get it drained right away.
