It was just after 6 pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and me were relaxing there going over the recent football rankings, prepared for the 8th fuel drain that day to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the BP filling station in Thornhill and filled petrol in a diesel Kia lease car. She was fairly agitated it seemed, saying "I can not believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to worry, and that these things sadly often happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe space and, since it was just a short distance away from where we were, we were able to find her swiftly.

Our Fields of Expertise: Services We Offer:

Here are the top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Derbyshire we are identifying increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of motorists not being aware of the way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you find yourself in this position don?t fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination service. Our engineers have got the specialised expertise and experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel may well trigger idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases quite swiftly.

Remember though that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir laying in the rear of the garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial properties in Derbyshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a storage shed, if we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Thornhill (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your vehicle if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill the car. They will take care of the common issues that can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Thornhill - Thornhill Petrol in Diesel

A customer had stopped just near a street in Thornhill. His Chevrolet engine had stopped operating and he'd no clue what was the problem until he realised he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He called us to request a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I can not believe that I didn't detect that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had gotten zero rest the night before and that must have been precisely why.
