It was close to eight pm on a Friday and although we were promised a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped raining! Dan and I were relaxing commenting on the weekend's sports, ready for the 8th telephone call to arrive. Eventually we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Hope and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Suzuki rental in error. She was quite agitated apparently, stating "I can not believe I've destroyed the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that such things regrettably do happen. She was able to get the car into a safe area and, seeing that it was only a few miles off from our van, we were able to get to the woman swiftly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off satisfied and a lot less anxious. Another misfuel correction in Derbyshire well done in my books!

We are ready to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Derbyshire we have noticed a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by motorists not knowing the right way to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And obviously don't start up the car - not even to shift it off of the pump. If you have started the car you may in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious matter to address in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol may produce idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations rather easily.

Remember though that if the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container at the rear of the garden full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and commercial properties in Derbyshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Hope (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up the car. They will handle any of the most common troubles which could go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Hope - Hope Wrong Fuel Drain

A motorist had broken down just near a street in Hope. His Dacia car had ceased working and he'd no idea what was faulty until eventually he realised he put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He called us to get a fuel drain and that's when he explained to us: "I cannot believe that I didn't detect that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had got very little rest the day before and that could have been why.
