Below are our top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Derbyshire we have seen increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of people not being aware of the way to work with it (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it right away. And definitely take care not to start up the car - not even to shift it into a parking area. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may very likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to take care of in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can potentially cause idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both circumstances quite quickly.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank sitting at the back of your premises full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and commercial properties in Derbyshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps some drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Walton-on-Trent (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to refill your car. They will be able to deal with the common problems that could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Walton-on-Trent - Walton-on-Trent Vehicle Misfuel

A person phoned us from his residence on a close in Walton-on-Trent. He exclaimed, "My car (a Jaguar) is not starting up and is generating awful noises when I turn the key." He admitted that he put petrol in his diesel car however reckoned he would fix the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, carried out the drain and filled it up again with untainted Diesel. He told us after that he would be absolutely sure to explain to people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out immediately.
