Waste Fuel Removal

We've been called out to several domestic and business premises in Staffordshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a storage shed, if we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to address in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can lead to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both situations rather expediently.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

  1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
    • A lot of smoke (more than usual)
    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
  2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
  3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
  4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
