It was after 8 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't ceased pouring! Brian and I were seated talking over the recent footy, waiting for the seventh job of the day to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the BP filling station in Bradwell Hills and put petrol in a diesel Fiat lease car by mistake. She was very troubled it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to fret, and also that these things sadly do happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a safe spot and, because it was just a few minutes away from our van, we were able to get to her without delay. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home satisfied and not so apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Derbyshire well done in my books!

This is what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Derbyshire we are finding an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from motorists not knowing the way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to one another on the car.

Now, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And definitely do not switch on the car - not even to move it into a parking bay. In the event that you have started the car you may in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a significant issue to address in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol may result in idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both circumstances pretty simply.

Bear in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to an automobile parking spot we will be able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container lying at the back of the garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and business premises in Derbyshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in an outbuilding, providing we can access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Bradwell Hills (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your vehicle any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to fill up your car or truck. They can also handle the normal issues which can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

A couple of days ago a gentleman contacted us after his Lexus died on a road in Bradwell Hills. He had inadvertently put petrol in the diesel car and got to the road before being forced to pull up. It was yet early in the morning and our technical engineer, who stays not far away, reached him in less than a quarter hour. We managed to take out the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel back in to the car. "Thank you for your timely response, especially at 6 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."
