Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel tank sitting in the back of your garden containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in Staffordshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a garage, providing we are able to access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important situation to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol may trigger idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both cases very easily.

Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car in DE6 Postcode - Lower Ellastone Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night of sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a bright Monday and I was off to assist an older sweetheart who put petrol in her diesel baby blue Peugeot 3008 in Lower Ellastone. She informed us that she had left the filling station forecourt and was stranded on a backwater lane on the way to see her grandchildren. I plugged her location into the TomTom and got there within 60 minutes. I turned up at the destination and removed the contaminated fuel out of the car. Whilst I was doing it she said to me, "Now I'm becoming rather forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel because I'd just purchased it a few days ago right after my other car, which I had had for about twenty years, finally broke down". I completed the drain and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. What a delightful Staffordshire woman!

We are fully licenced and covered so you understand that the vehicle is in safe hands. Regardless if you are in an age-old rust-bucket or a brand-new sports-car we can help out.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

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.
