It was just after 5 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ray and I were relaxing talking about the recent rugby results, prepared for the 6th fuel drain that day to arrive. Inevitably we received the phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Twyford and filled petrol in a diesel MG rental. The unfortunate lady was somewhat agitated it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to fret, also that such things regrettably often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a secure area and, since it was just a few miles away from where we were, we could arrive at the woman rather quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home relaxed and not so stressed. One more job in Derbyshire done well in my books!

Our Areas of Competence :

We can assist you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Derbyshire we have encountered increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent stemming from people not being totally sure the way to use it (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it immediately. And most certainly don't start the car - not even to move it off of the pump. In the event that you did start the car you will likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important issue to address in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol may produce idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations rather swiftly.

Be aware however that if the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank lying at the back of the garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and business properties in Derbyshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in a storage shed, provided that we can access it, we can empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Twyford (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill the car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) to fill up your automobile. They are also able to fix the normal troubles that can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
