Here are the top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Derbyshire we have discovered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of drivers not knowing how to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to one another on the car.

So, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And of course don't turn over the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. In case you have started the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious issue to take care of in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol can result in idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to an automobile parking spot we will be able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

We have been called out to many private and industrial properties in Derbyshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages.
