It was close to 6 pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a dry and fresh day, it had not ceased raining! James and me were sitting going over the weekend's tennis rankings, at the ready for the next fuel drain for the day to arrive. In due time we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Tomthorn and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Smart lease car in error. She was pretty irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I simply can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to be concerned, also that such things sadly can happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure space and, because it was no more than a few minutes away from us, we were able to get to the customer almost instantly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off satisfied and not so apprehensive. Yet another job in Derbyshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Derbyshire we have found an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to motorists not knowing how to use it (take note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it right away. And definitely don't turn over the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. In cases where you did start the car you will likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious situation to address in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank can easily bring about idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both cases rather expediently.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking bay we can gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container in the rear of your premises full of aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and business premises in Derbyshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in an outbuilding, if we can reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Run out of fuel in Tomthorn (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home.
