It was after 6 pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! James and I were sitting there discussing the weekend's sports, ready for the 8th call that day to come in. Finally we got a call from a girl on a company trip who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Coton Park and put petrol in her diesel MG rental car in error. The poor lady was pretty troubled apparently, crying "I still can't believe I have wrecked the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to worry, and that things like this regrettably can happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a protected spot and, because it was no more than a few minutes from the office, we were able to get to the customer almost instantly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Even though we got really wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away relaxed and a lot less worried. A fuel drain in Derbyshire done well in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Derbyshire we are discovering more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a consequence of motorists not knowing the way to use it (important: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, what's the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And most certainly do not start the car - not even to relocate it off of the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you would in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious issue to deal with in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank is going to produce idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both cases very simply.

Take note that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close to parking spot we will be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

We've been called out to a number of private and commercial properties in Derbyshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even numerous drums in a garage, providing we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it.

We will come to fill up the car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home.
