It was around 7 pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were seated there talking about the weekend's tennis, ready for the next job that day to come in. Finally we received the phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Hollington Grove and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Smart rental car by mistake. She was rather irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe I have wrecked the car! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to worry, plus that such things do happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a protected spot and, since it was no more than a short distance away from our van, we could reach the woman rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive off contented and not so apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Derbyshire well done in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

All over Derbyshire we are encountering increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to people being unsure of the right way to work with it (important: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it immediately. And obviously be careful not to switch on the car - not even to maneuver it off the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a significant condition to handle in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel may well result in idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both situations quite simply.

Take note though that if the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir laying at the back of your premises with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and industrial premises in Derbyshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even some containers in an outbuilding, provided that we can get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Hollington Grove (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your automobile in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) to fill your car. They will deal with any of the common problems which might go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
