It was just before six pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Dan and me were sitting talking over the weekend's tennis rankings, waiting for the 8th call to come in. Eventually we had the phone call from a woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Sawley and put petrol in a diesel Jaguar rental in error. She was quite troubled it seemed, crying "I still can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to worry, and that things like this often happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a safe position and, because it was only a short distance away from our van, we were able to arrive at the customer rather quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home satisfied and not so stressed. One more fuel drain in Derbyshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Derbyshire we have encountered a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by motorists not knowing how to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out right away. And of course don't start the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. If you have started the car you will most likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank is likely to cause idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both situations rather quickly.

You should know that as long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will likely be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel tank lying in the back of your premises full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous private and industrial properties in Derbyshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in a shed, provided that we can get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Sawley (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill the car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill your car. They will handle any of the normal problems that can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Sawley - Sawley Fuel Drain

I'd had a fantastic afternoon golfing on my off day and was feeling cheerful with myself the following morning as I was en route to help a new couple vacationing in Sawley. They'd stopped after filling the wrong fuel into their Skoda, and the car was around an hour's travel away. I got there at their car and smiled while I listened to the woman telling off her partner for actually being so foolish. "Precisely how could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this takes place constantly in Derbyshire and that it's in reality absolutely nothing to stress about, and yet he all the same had his ear bent by his missus. I felt sorry for the chap. At any rate, I extracted all the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some proper fuel. While watching them drive away I mouthed bon voyage and pondered on what my wife would say to me if I made the exact same error... I'd never live it down!
