Helping you get back on the road is our primary goal.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Derbyshire we have seen progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly due to motorists not being aware of the way to use it (be aware: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And certainly never turn over the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. Assuming you have started the car you will very likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important situation to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel will often bring about idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both circumstances very easily.

Remember that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will probably be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your garden with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and industrial premises in Derbyshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even a few containers in a storage shed, providing we can access it, we can certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Mapperley (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up the car if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and refill your car or truck. They are also able to deal with the usual issues that can go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Mapperley - Mapperley Fuel Drain

I had appreciated a terrific evening golfing during my day off and felt satisfied the next morning as I was on the way to help a new couple who were holidaying in Mapperley. They'd broken down after adding petrol in their Peugeot, and they were roughly half an hour away. I got there at their location and smiled to myself as I heard to the woman berating her husband for turning out to be so silly. "Precisely how could you actually manage to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to clarify that this situation happens regularly in Derbyshire and that it is nothing at all to be concerned about, and yet he yet still had an earful. Unlucky lad. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed all of the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the right fuel. As they drove off I mouthed good-bye and thought about what my wife would ask me in the event that I made the exact same blunder... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!
