It was close to ten pm on a Monday and while we were promised a dry night, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were sitting discussing the recent tennis rankings, ready for the seventh telephone call of the day to come in. Inevitably we got a phone call from a lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Etwall and put petrol in her diesel Volkswagen hire car. The poor thing was somewhat agitated apparently, stating "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and that such things sadly can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a protected position and, because it was only a few minutes from our van, we were able to find the customer swiftly.

Our Areas of Competence :

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Derbyshire we have seen progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to people not knowing the way to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to each other on the car.

Now, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely take care not to turn over the car - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you may in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel will bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both circumstances pretty swiftly.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir in the back of the garden with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and business premises in Derbyshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run out of fuel in Etwall (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) to fill your car. They are also able to take care of any of the usual problems which might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
