Here are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Derbyshire we have seen an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree caused by people not being totally sure how to use it (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And of course don't crank the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will most likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious matter to take care of in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol can certainly contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both cases pretty simply.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car or truck parking spot we are able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial properties in Derbyshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Egginton (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill your car. They can also fix the common issues that might come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
