We are all set to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Derbyshire we have seen increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of people being unsure of the right way to use it (pay attention: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the car.

Well, what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And obviously take care not to crank the engine - not even to shift it off of the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol may trigger idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both circumstances very quickly.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel tank in the back of your garden full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial premises in Derbyshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in a garage, providing we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Thornhill (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) to fill your vehicle. They will take care of any of the normal troubles that can accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Thornhill - Thornhill Wrong Fuel Drain

A man had stopped near a street in Thornhill. His Ford engine had ceased operating and he'd no idea what was faulty till he realised he put unleaded in his diesel car. He rang us to request a fuel drain and that is when he told us: "I cannot believe that I didn't detect that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had got virtually no sleep the day before and that could have been the reason why.
