AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Derbyshire we have noticed a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent a result of motorists not being aware of the way to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And most certainly do not start the vehicle - not even to relocate it away from the pump. If you did start the vehicle you may very likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important condition to take care of in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol can potentially bring about idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations fairly expediently.

You should know however that any time the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel container laying at the back of your garden containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and business 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 dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a storage shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we can drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Harlesthorpe (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your car if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to refill your automobile. They are also able to handle any of the typical troubles that could go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Harlesthorpe - Harlesthorpe Fuel Rescue

I'd had a terrific afternoon fishing during my off day and felt contented the next day as I set off to help a young couple who were on holiday in Harlesthorpe. They had pulled over after inserting diesel in their Citroen, and they were about half an hour away. I got there at their car and smirked while I heard to the woman telling off her hubby for actually being so stupid. "Just how could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this kind of thing happens on a regular basis in Derbyshire and that it's nothing at all to be anxious about, nonetheless he in spite of everything got an earful. Unfortunate boy. In any case, I removed the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the right fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted bon voyage and considered what my missus would say to me if perhaps I did the same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!
