We are ready to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Derbyshire we are identifying more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to people not being aware of how to use it (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the car.

Now, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us if you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to correct different types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol will likely cause idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both circumstances fairly simply.

Bear in mind that so long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to parking spot we can access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir sitting in the back of the garden full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and industrial premises in Derbyshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a garage, providing we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Tomthorn (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill the car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) and refill your car. They are also able to deal with the standard troubles that may come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Tomthorn - Tomthorn Fuel Removal

I'd had a great evening cycling on the weekend and was feeling contented with myself the following day as I headed out to assist a young couple who were on holiday in Tomthorn. They'd pulled over after filling diesel into their Citroen, and the car was approximately half an hour away. I turned up at their location and laughed to myself as I listened to the woman telling her partner off for turning out to be so stupid. "Just how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this takes place on daily basis in Derbyshire and that it's nothing at all to get worried about, and yet he in spite of everything got an earful. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. Anyway, I removed all the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some proper fuel. While watching them drive away I waved so long and thought about what her indoors would say to me if ever I made the same blunder... I'd under no circumstances live it down!
