It was after 10 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were seated there going over the weekend's rugby results, waiting for the seventh telephone call of the day to arrive. Eventually we got the phone call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Kilburn and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Suzuki hire car in error. The poor thing was somewhat distressed it seemed, crying "I cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to fret, also that such things unfortunately do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure space and, since it was no more than a short distance from our van, we could reach the lady fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the motel she was lodging at. Even though we got really drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive off satisfied and a lot less worried. Yet another job in Derbyshire well done in my opinion!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Derbyshire we are discovering an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of motorists being unsure of how to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the car.

Well, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As the product is mostly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And absolutely do not switch on the car - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would very likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to address in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank may cause idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both situations rather expediently.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir in the rear of your premises with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and business properties in Derbyshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a storage shed, as long as we can access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Kilburn (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your vehicle if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up your vehicle. They will deal with the standard troubles that can go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Kilburn - Kilburn Wrong Fuel Doctor

Last friday a driver called us just after his Smart broke down in the middle of a road in Kilburn. He had by mistake put unleaded in the diesel car and had managed to drive so far as the road before needing to halt. It was really in the early hours of the morning and our engineer, who stays close by, was with him in less than a quarter hour. We were able to take out the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel back in the car. "Thank you for your prompt response, and in particular at 1 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
