It was before six pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ryan and I were relaxing there talking about the recent footy rankings, waiting for the next fuel drain that day to arrive. In due time we got a phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Fernilee and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Hyundai rental. She was rather affected by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe I have wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that such things do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a secure position and, because it was no more than a short distance off from us, we were able to reach the lady fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact that we got extremely wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off calm and much less worried. Another job in Derbyshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Derbyshire we are finding a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly a result of people being unsure of how to use it (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out at once. And absolutely don't start up the engine - not even to relocate it from the pump. If you have started the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a serious issue to handle in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank may result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both situations pretty expediently.

Be aware that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to parking spot we will be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container sitting in the rear of your garden full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and industrial properties in Derbyshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even several containers in a shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Fernilee (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up the car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to fill your car or truck. They are also able to handle any of the normal troubles that might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.
