It was before 9 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were sitting there going over the recent golf rankings, prepared for the sixth job of the day to come in. Inevitably we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP filling station in Sudbury and put the wrong fuel in her diesel MG hire car by mistake. The poor lady was rather distressed it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that these things do happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a protected space and, since it was only a few minutes from where we were, we could get to the lady almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive off satisfied and less anxious. Another fuel drain in Derbyshire well done in my books!

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.

AdBlue Contamination

In Derbyshire we have noticed an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure how to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the car.

Well, what's the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because the product is mostly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And of course don't crank the engine - not even to shift it to a parking place. In cases where you have started the car you will almost certainly need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a significant situation to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol can potentially bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both situations very swiftly.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir laying at the back of the garden with old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in Derbyshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a shed, if we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Sudbury (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) to refill your car. They will take care of the common problems which may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Sudbury - Sudbury Wrong Fuel Doctor

A man had broken down near a road in Sudbury. His Land Rover engine had stopped running and he had no idea what was faulty until he realised he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to request a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I can not believe that I didn't detect that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had gotten virtually no rest the evening before and that must have been precisely why.
