Our Fields of Specialties:

Do you or your employees usually misfuel your vehicle? We can solve any connected issues.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Derbyshire we are encountering a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part due to people not understanding how to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the car.

Well, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Call us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can attend to different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely an important matter to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel will often result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both cases rather quickly.

Be aware however that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the storage and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container laying at the rear of your garden containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial properties in Derbyshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a shed, provided that we can access it, we are able to empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Matlock (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and refill your car. They are also able to fix any of the usual issues that can come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Matlock - Matlock Wrong Fuel Drain

Yesterday a motorist phoned us because his Citroen cut out along a street in Matlock. He had unintentionally put the wrong fuel in his diesel car and was only able to get so far as the road before having to pull up. It was really early in the day and our technical engineer, who resides locally, reached him in less than fifteen minutes. We were able to remove the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel once again into the car. "Many thanks to you for your timely response, particularly at 1 a.m., I truly appreciate it."

Recent Fuel Drains in Matlock

Directly below are comments and instances of contaminated fuel removal we have completed in Matlock:

We carried out a wrong fuel retrieval job near a beautiful residential home in Matlock not so long ago. "I had put petrol in my diesel car and was able to virtually reach home when my car quit." Our fuel drainer went out, regardless that it was fairly late at night, and did a full fuel drain and purge on the Chevrolet .

Wrong Fuel in Car Matlock - Matlock Fuel Drain

This was exactly what is called the night shift. It was around 3:30 in the morning and almost noone was stirring. It was rather uneventful up to now, and Brian and I were loafing reading some old papers. That was an uncommon quiet moment in Derbyshire. Actually it was indeed so tranquil that the instant the phone rang I jumped with surprise! The motorist told me: "I've just ended my night shift and foolishly put petrol in the diesel SEAT by mistake". We instructed him to inform us exactly where the car was situated and we left, reaching him in Matlock no more than 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was extracted from the vehicle. He thanked us for getting there so rapidly. While we were going back to the depot we spotted two young ladies at the side of the road who appeared to have a flat tyre. So we pulled over to change it, much to their elation.

Fuel Rescue Matlock - Matlock Fuel Rescue

I had a great evening fishing on my off day and felt cheerful with myself the following day as I set off to assist a young family holidaying in Matlock. They conked out after putting diesel in their Mercedes, and they were about half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their position and smirked to myself while I listened to the girl chastising her man for being so silly. "How could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this occurs constantly in Derbyshire and that it's nothing to be anxious about, however he all the same got an earful. I felt genuine sympathy for the chap. Anyway, I extracted the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some proper fuel. While they drove off I waved bon voyage and considered what her indoors would tell me in the event that I did the same thing... I would personally never hear the end of it!
