Below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Derbyshire we have noticed a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially caused by drivers not knowing how to use it (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to correct all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant matter to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel is likely to produce idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with properly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both situations pretty simply.

Take note however that if the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container placed in the rear of your garden full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and business premises in Derbyshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a shed, if we can access it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Harlesthorpe (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill the car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and fill up the car. They will take care of the standard problems that can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Harlesthorpe - Harlesthorpe Fuel Drain

A person called us from his place on a street in Harlesthorpe. He pronounced, "My car (a Mercedes) is not running and is generating awful noises when I turn the ignition." He confessed that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would fix the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, did the fuel drain and filled him up again with untainted Diesel. He said he would be sure to explain to people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to have it drained immediately.
