Wrong Fuel in Car Upper Birchwood - Upper Birchwood Fuel Rescue

Ahhh, that was a quality night's sleep! It was 7:30 am on a warm Bank Holiday Monday and we were on the way to assist an older lady who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel BMW in Upper Birchwood. I had been informed she had left the petrol station forecourt and was broken down in a rural road on the way to pay a visit to her family. I popped the location into the Satnav and got there within an hour or so. I got to the car and drained the contaminated fuel from the car. As I was working she said to me, "Now I'm getting somewhat absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle needing diesel seeing that I had only bought it several days back because my former car, which I owned for over thirty years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the drain completed and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. Such a delightful Derbyshire woman!

We can assist you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Derbyshire we have found more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially thanks to motorists not being totally sure how to to make use of (important: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily take care of different types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol can certainly lead to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both circumstances pretty expediently.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will probably be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close to parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir laying in the rear of your garden containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and industrial premises in Derbyshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Upper Birchwood (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill your car. They can also handle any of the usual issues which could go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

A young person who had only got his licence had wrong fuelled his Land Rover by putting petrol in the diesel vehicle at the filling station close to Upper Birchwood.

A driver from Upper Birchwood with her little ones in her diesel Land Rover had put £40 of petrol at the Shell service station. She phoned us crying and really upset as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel before and didn't know what would happen to her vehicle because of it. We told her that everything should be okay and that she would be back up and running quickly. When we arrived on scene she was still upset but while our technician began work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she noticed that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She quickly cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I just can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Particularly with the children on board."

A gentleman contacted us from his place on a close in Upper Birchwood. He exclaimed, "My car (a Hyundai) is not running and is producing very bad noises when I turn the ignition." He said that he put unleaded in his diesel car but then thought he would fix the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We arrived promptly, carried out the drain and filled it up once more with untainted Diesel. He told us after that he would be certain to educate people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to have it drained right away.
