It was around eight pm on a Monday and although we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! James and me were relaxing talking over the recent sports rankings, at the ready for the 8th call to arrive. Finally we got the call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Kings Newton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Renault rental in error. She was fairly troubled it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and also that things like this often happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a protected spot and, seeing that it was only a short distance from us, we were able to reach her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away satisfied and not so anxious. One more misfuel correction in Derbyshire done well in my opinion!

Services We Deliver:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Derbyshire we have discovered increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part due to motorists not knowing the right way to to make use of (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the automobile.

So, what's the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily take care of all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious condition to take care of in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol is likely to lead to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both situations quite easily.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel container laying at the back of the garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial properties in Derbyshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in an outbuilding, if we can access it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Kings Newton (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your vehicle any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up your automobile. They will handle any of the most common issues which may go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
