It was after five pm on a Tuesday and while we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and I were relaxing talking about the recent tennis results, waiting for the next telephone call that day to come in. Before long we got the phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Holloway and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel MINI hire car by mistake. She was pretty agitated apparently, telling me "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to be concerned, also that such things sadly do happen. She managed to move the car into a protected space and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles from us, we were able to arrive at the customer swiftly. The bad fuel was taken out so she could once again go back to the hotel she was staying in. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off satisfied and a lot less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Derbyshire well done in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

In Derbyshire we have encountered progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a result of people not being totally sure the right way to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out right away. And definitely do not switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you would probably need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to handle in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel will often lead to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both situations fairly easily.

Take note that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir lying at the back of your garden full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and commercial properties in Derbyshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even several drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we can drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Holloway (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a complete Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) to fill your automobile. They can also take care of the typical issues that could accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.
