It was just before 7 pm on a Wednesday and while we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and I were resting there discussing the weekend's rugby rankings, waiting for the seventh telephone call of the day to come in. Finally we received the call from a lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Bolsover and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Mitsubishi lease car in error. She was fairly troubled apparently, saying "I cannot believe that I've messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to fret, and that such things can happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a safe spot and, since it was only a short distance away from our van, we were able to get to the lady quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was living at. Although we got really wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive home contented and a lot less stressed. A fuel drain in Derbyshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Derbyshire we have identified a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of drivers not understanding the way to work with it (note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And of course do not start the car - not even to shift it away from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would probably need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to take care of in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel can easily cause idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases rather quickly.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank sitting in the back of your garden containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and business properties in Derbyshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a shed, providing we can reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Bolsover (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) to fill your automobile. They will be able to handle any of the standard troubles which might accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.
