It was close to 9 pm on a Friday and although we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and I were relaxing commenting on the weekend's football, waiting for the next call of the day to come in. Inevitably we had the call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Pye Bridge and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Peugeot hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was quite distressed apparently, telling me "I still cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to worry, and that these things regrettably often happen. She was able to relocate the car into a secure area and, because it was just a few minutes from the office, we could find the lady almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing at.

Our Areas of Competence :

Listed below are our top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Derbyshire we are finding a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from drivers not being totally sure the way to use it (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since the product is mainly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And certainly never crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it off the pump. If you have started the vehicle you will likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually an important matter to address in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel will produce idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases fairly simply.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Petrol in Diesel Pye Bridge - Pye Bridge Fuel Removal

I had a wonderful evening fishing during the weekend and felt contented the following morning as I set off to assist a young family holidaying in Pye Bridge. They'd conked out after inserting diesel into their BMW, and they were around half an hour away. I emerged at their location and smiled to myself while I heard to the lady telling her man off for actually being so silly. "Just how could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this problem comes to pass continuously in Derbyshire and that it's actually nothing at all to be concerned about, nevertheless he in spite of everything had his ear bent. Poor lad. At any rate, I drained all the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. As they drove off I mouthed bon voyage and thought about what her indoors would do to me if I made the same error... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
