It was just before 10 pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Dan and I were sitting there going over the weekend's rugby, ready for the 6th telephone call to come in. Eventually we received the phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Makeney and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Skoda hire car in error. The poor lady was very troubled apparently, crying "I still can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that such things unfortunately often happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a protected spot and, as it was only a few miles off from where we were, we could find the customer right away. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away calm and a lot less anxious. A job in Derbyshire well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Competence :

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

What you can do in case you may have put Adblue into a Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a solution that is composed of a mixture of urea (32.5%) and deionized water.It can be harmful to your car's fuel system, especially if you run the engine with Adblue in the diesel fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been started the Adblue is going to be injected into the fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, bringing about serious and costly damage to your automobile's fuel system.

In case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And definitely do not switch on the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to take care of in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel can certainly contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out properly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both cases quite expediently.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank lying at the back of the garden with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and business properties in Derbyshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even several containers in a shed, providing we can reach it, we are able to empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Makeney (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill the car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and refill your automobile. They will fix the most common troubles which might accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Makeney - Makeney Vehicle Misfuel

A man called us from Makeney to say he unfortunately piped petrol in his diesel Land Rover. "Shocking! How could I put petrol in my beautiful diesel car!" It took our engineer roughly 50 minutes to fully drain the wrong fuel out of the car. He meticulously flushed the fuel lines, filter and pumps and after that put clean diesel in the vehicle. The customer was very pleased and it hadn't cost him dealership prices to get the work professionally done.
