It was about five pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Mark and I were relaxing there talking about the footy rankings, prepared for the next call for the day to come in. Eventually we received a call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Upper Town and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Dacia rental. She was pretty affected apparently, crying "I can not believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that such things can happen. She had managed to get the car into a safe space and, seeing as it was just a short distance away from the office, we could find the lady swiftly. The wrong fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got very drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off calm and a lot less stressed. Yet another job in Derbyshire done well in my books!

Here are the top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Derbyshire we are noticing an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly stemming from motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (pay attention: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely don't switch on the motor - not even to shift it to a parking place. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel is going to contribute to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both circumstances quite easily.

Remember though that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank placed at the back of the garden containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and business properties in Derbyshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Upper Town (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up the car. They will handle any of the common problems which can accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
