These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

All over Derbyshire we have encountered progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by drivers not knowing how to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And obviously take care not to start the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. If you did start the car you may in all probability need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to address in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel is going to result in idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both situations fairly simply.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel tank laying at the back of your garden full of aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and commercial properties in Derbyshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a storage shed, if we can get to it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Thornhill (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill the car if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home.

Vehicle Misfuel Thornhill - Thornhill Fuel Removal

I'd had a perfect day cycling on my afternoon off and was feeling satisfied the following morning as I set off to aid a new couple who were on vacation in Thornhill. They broken down after putting petrol in their MG, and the car was about an hour's drive away. I arrived at their location and smiled while I listened to the woman telling her man off for turning out to be so stupid. "Precisely how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I wanted to clarify that this situation comes to pass on daily basis in Derbyshire and that it's absolutely nothing to get worried about, nevertheless he yet still got his ear bent by his wife. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all of the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the right fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted bon voyage and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if ever I made the same error... I would never live it down!
