It was just before eight pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were resting there going over the footy results, prepared for the next fuel drain for the day to arrive. Before long we had a call from a lovely women on a company trip who had arrived at the BP filling station in Idridgehay Green and put petrol in her diesel Dacia rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was quite affected apparently, saying "I can not believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that things like this sadly often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a protected space and, as it was only a few minutes away from our van, we were able to get to her right away. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away calm and less apprehensive. Yet another misfuel correction in Derbyshire well done in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Derbyshire we have found a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a result of motorists not being totally sure the right way to use it (important: 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 next to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Should you find yourself in this situation don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination service. Our technicians have got the specialised know-how and working experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious condition to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank can easily contribute to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both situations fairly swiftly.

Remember though that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

We have been called out to numerous domestic and business premises in Derbyshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a shed, if we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Wrong Fuel Drain Idridgehay Green - Idridgehay Green Vehicle Misfuel

A couple weeks ago a man called us soon after his Porsche cut out along a road in Idridgehay Green. He had by accident put the incorrect fuel in his diesel motor and was only able to drive as far as the road before having to halt. It was in the early hours of the day and our engineer, who lives not far away, arrived with him in about ten minutes. We managed to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel back in to the car. "Thank you for your fast response, and in particular at 6 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."
