It was around seven pm on a Friday and although we were assured a dry evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were sitting talking over the recent sports rankings, prepared for the next fuel drain for the day to come in. Inevitably we received a call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP filling station in Waingroves and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Toyota hire car by mistake. The poor thing was quite irritated apparently, telling me "I cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to worry, also that such things regrettably often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a safe area and, seeing that it was only a few minutes away from the office, we were able to arrive at the woman quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off satisfied and not so stressed. A fuel drain in Derbyshire done well in my mind!

We can assist you with all these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Derbyshire we are noticing an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent caused by motorists being unsure of the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Because the product is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And definitely never start up the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking place. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you may probably have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the fuel may result in idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both circumstances quite simply.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to a car parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank laying at the rear of the garden with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in Derbyshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even several containers in a storage shed, providing we can reach it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Waingroves (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill your car or truck. They are also able to take care of any of the normal problems which can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
