It was before 8 pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a dry night, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and me were resting commenting on the recent sports results, waiting for the next call that day to arrive. In due time we received a call from a young lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Flaxholme and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Suzuki lease car. She was very affected apparently, telling me "I still cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to fret, and that these things regrettably can happen. She had managed to get the car into a safe spot and, as it was no more than a few miles away from where we were, we were able to arrive at the lady without delay. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home relaxed and much less worried. One more fuel drain in Derbyshire done well in my books!

Our Areas of Expertise :

Below are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Derbyshire we have identified a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Call us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will take care of different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually an important condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol can certainly contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both cases very expediently.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly 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 near enough to parking spot we will be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container in the back of the garden full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial premises in Derbyshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a shed, assuming that we can reach it, we can empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Flaxholme (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your automobile any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) to refill your vehicle. They will be able to deal with the standard problems which might go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

A person called us from his home on a close in Flaxholme. He explained, "My car (a Citroen) is not starting up and is producing awful noises when I flip the key."

We were on scene quickly, performed the drain and filled it up once again with clean Diesel.
