Offered Services: Our Specialties:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Derbyshire we are finding a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly due to motorists not being totally sure the way to work with it (remember: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will handle every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant issue to address in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank may well produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both circumstances very swiftly.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir placed in the rear of your garden full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial premises in Derbyshire for the purpose of 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. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some drums in a garage, as long as we can reach it, we can empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Makeney (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill the car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and refill your automobile. They are also able to fix the usual issues which can go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Makeney - Makeney Wrong Fuel Assist

A person called us from his place on a street in Makeney. He said, "My car (a Suzuki) is not starting up and is generating awful noises when I flip the ignition."

We showed up quickly, did the fuel drain and filled him up once more with untainted Diesel. He told us after that he would be absolutely sure to explain to people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to have it drained promptly.
