It was around 7 pm on a Saturday and while we were promised a dry night, it had not stopped raining! Ray and I were seated going over the football results, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Westthorpe and filled petrol in a diesel MG hire car. The unfortunate thing was pretty troubled it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to worry, also that these things can happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a protected spot and, because it was just a few minutes off from us, we were able to find the woman right away. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could return to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive off calm and less worried. A job in Derbyshire done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Expertise :

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Derbyshire we have identified a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially thanks to people being unsure of the right way to use it (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you find yourself in this situation don?t fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination business. Our experts have got the practical know-how and working experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant matter to handle in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank may well trigger idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases fairly expediently.

Take note however that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir in the rear of your premises with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and business properties in Derbyshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in a shed, as long as we can access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Westthorpe (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) and fill up the car. They are also able to deal with any of the most common troubles that can go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
