It was just before 9 pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were sitting talking over the weekend's rugby, waiting for the seventh call of the day to arrive. Before long we had a call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Alvaston and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Hyundai rental car by mistake. The poor lady was very affected apparently, saying "I still cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that these things do happen. She was able to get the car into a secure space and, seeing as it was only a short distance off from the office, we were able to find the customer without delay. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could go home to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away satisfied and not so concerned. A fuel drain in Derbyshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Derbyshire we are encountering an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of motorists not understanding the way to use it (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Whenever you end up in this predicament don?t panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the technical knowledge and working experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually an important matter to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank is likely to produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Remember however that if the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to an automobile parking bay we can access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel container laying at the rear of the garden with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Derbyshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even several drums in a shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Alvaston (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your vehicle. They are also able to take care of any of the typical troubles which could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Alvaston - Alvaston Fuel Removal

Last week a driver called us when his Ford stopped working on a street in Alvaston. He had accidentally put unleaded in his diesel motor and drove to the street before being forced to give up. It was yet early in the day and our engineer, who lives not far away, arrived with him in approximately twenty minutes. We managed to take out the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel once again in to the car. "Many kudos to you for your fast response, and in particular at 6 a.m., I really am grateful for it."
