It was around ten pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Mark and me were relaxing there commenting on the rugby rankings, prepared for the next fuel drain for the day to come in. Inevitably we had a call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Repton and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Skoda rental by mistake. She was fairly agitated apparently, stating "I can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to worry, and also that such things often happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a protected area and, because it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we were able to get to the customer almost instantly. The wrong fuel was removed so she could return to the Travelodge she was staying in. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off calm and not so worried.

Our Areas of Experience :

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Derbyshire we are identifying increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a consequence of motorists being unsure of how to to make use of (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously do not crank the car - not even to move it to a parking place. If you did start the car you may probably have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant issue to handle in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel will contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both circumstances fairly easily.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car parking spot we can gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container placed in the back of the garden full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and industrial premises in Derbyshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps some drums in a shed, if we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it.
