It was just before seven pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ray and I were relaxing commenting on the sports, prepared for the 6th job of the day to arrive. Before long we had the call from a girl on a company expedition who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Loundsley Green and put petrol in her diesel Smart lease car in error. The poor lady was somewhat troubled it seemed, saying "I can not believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, and that these things regrettably often happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a safe space and, seeing that it was just a few miles off from the office, we were able to arrive at the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to return to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off calm and not so stressed. One more job in Derbyshire done well in my mind!

Here are the top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Derbyshire we are finding an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partly thanks to people not being aware of the right way to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it at once. And obviously never start up the vehicle - not even to shift it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the car you would probably have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel will likely trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases fairly simply.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near to parking spot we can access the storage and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank lying at the back of your premises full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and commercial 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. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps some drums in a storage shed, as long as we can access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Loundsley Green (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) to refill your automobile. They will be able to take care of the common problems which might accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
