These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Derbyshire we are identifying a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part a result of drivers not being totally sure the way to use it (pay attention: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And absolutely don't start up the engine - not even to move it off the pump. If you have started the vehicle you will very likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important condition to handle in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can result in idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both cases rather expediently.

Remember that any time the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel tank placed at the back of the garden full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial properties in Derbyshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Horsley Woodhouse (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and refill the car. They are also able to take care of any of the common troubles which could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
