Our Areas of Expertise: Services We Offer:

Listed here are the top services we provide to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Derbyshire we have noticed increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly thanks to people being unsure of how to use it (remember: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to each other on the car.

Now, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And of course be careful not to crank the engine - not even to move it to a parking bay. If you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant situation to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank is likely to bring about idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both situations very easily.

Remember that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container placed in the rear of your garden with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous private and industrial properties in Derbyshire for the purpose of draining and recycling 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 tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Peak Dale (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to fill the car. They can also handle the usual troubles which may go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
