It was just after six pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a rainless night, it had not stopped raining! Ray and me were resting discussing the football, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain that day to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Horsley Woodhouse and put petrol in a diesel Dacia rental car. The poor thing was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to fret, and that these things regrettably do happen. She had managed to get the car to a secure space and, seeing that it was just a few miles away from the office, we could get to the lady almost instantly. The bad fuel was taken out and she could go home to the Travelodge she was living in. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off contented and less stressed. A misfuel correction in Derbyshire well done in my mind!

Below are our top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Derbyshire we have found increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a consequence of people not being aware of how to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And of course do not turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it away from the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to deal with in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can easily contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both circumstances rather expediently.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container placed at the rear of your premises with aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Derbyshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even some drums in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Horsley Woodhouse (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home.
