It was just after eight pm on a Friday and though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and I were seated talking over the weekend's sports rankings, waiting for the 6th call of the day to come in. Inevitably we had the call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Calow and filled petrol in a diesel MINI hire car in error. She was rather agitated apparently, stating "I simply can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things sadly can happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure spot and, as it was just a few minutes from where we were, we were able to arrive at the woman quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could return to the Premier Inn she was living at. Although we got very soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home relaxed and a lot less anxious. One more job in Derbyshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Derbyshire we are finding increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to people not being aware of the way to work with it (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Phone us if it turns out you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will correct all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to take care of in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel will trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases quite quickly.

Keep in mind that if the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car parking spot we can access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir placed in the back of the garden containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous private and industrial premises in Derbyshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Calow (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up the car any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) to refill your car or truck. They are also able to handle the usual issues that could go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Calow - Calow Wrong Fuel Drain

A guy had conked out near a street in Calow. His Ford motor had ceased running and he'd no idea what was wrong till he noticed he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I didn't realise that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He said that he had gotten virtually no rest the night before and that must have been the key reason why.
