It was around 8 pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were seated talking over the tennis results, waiting for the seventh telephone call that day to come in. In due time we received the call from a young lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Bagshaw and filled petrol in her diesel Suzuki hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was rather troubled it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that these things regrettably do happen. She was able to get the car into a secure spot and, seeing that it was only a short distance from where we were, we could get to the lady fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she could get back to the hotel she was staying at. Although we got very wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away calm and less worried. One more job in Derbyshire done well in my mind!

Our Services:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Derbyshire we are discovering a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of drivers being unsure of the way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily fix all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to handle in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank will likely lead to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both circumstances fairly expediently.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel tank placed in the back of the garden with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in Derbyshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some containers in a shed, if we are able to access it, we can drain it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Bagshaw (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and fill up your car. They are also able to deal with any of the normal troubles that can go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Bagshaw - Bagshaw Vehicle Misfuel

I had enjoyed a fantastic day cycling during my day off and was feeling delighted with myself the following morning as I set out to assist a new family who were on holiday in Bagshaw. They'd broken down after putting the wrong fuel in their Ford, and the car was approximately an hour's travel away. I turned up at their car and laughed as I listened to the gal telling her hubby off for being so daft. "Just how could you actually be able to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this situation occurs on daily basis in Derbyshire and that it's really nothing at all to fret about, even so he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his wife. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed all the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some correct fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed good-bye and considered what her indoors would ask me if I made the very same error... I would personally never live it down!
