It was around 8 pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a dry night, it hadn't ceased pouring! Paul and me were sitting there discussing the rugby results, at the ready for the 6th telephone call to come in. In due time we got a call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Shatton and filled petrol in her diesel Smart lease car in error. The poor thing was fairly affected by the sounds of it, saying "I still cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to fret, also that these things regrettably often happen. She managed to relocate the car into a protected area and, seeing as it was just a few miles away from our van, we could find the woman fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was removed and she could get back to the hotel she was lodging in. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off satisfied and less stressed.

Our Areas of Competency :

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

AdBlue In Diesel

What to do if you have put Adblue into your Diesel tank? AdBlue is a liquid that is made out of a mixture of urea and deionized water.It is actually devastating to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly in cases where you have had the engine running with Adblue in the diesel tank. As soon as the engine has been started the Adblue is going to be pulled into your fuel lines and will swiftly begin to crystalise, resulting in disastrous and costly problems to your car's fuel system.

If in case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And certainly don't start up the engine - not even to move it off of the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would in all probability need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important issue to take care of in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in fuel may well lead to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances rather simply.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to parking spot we can access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir lying at the back of your premises containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Derbyshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a storage shed, if we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Shatton (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) and fill up your vehicle. They are also able to deal with the most common troubles that could go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Shatton - Shatton Fuel Drain

A gentleman had broken down near a road in Shatton. His MG car had ceased working and he had no idea what was wrong till he realised he had put petrol in his diesel car. He rang us to get a fuel drain and that is when he informed us: "I can't believe that I did not comprehend that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He said that he had gotten very little rest the evening before and that could have been precisely why.
