It was just before six pm on a Friday and while we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and I were sitting there discussing the weekend's football rankings, waiting for the next telephone call that day to come in. Eventually we received a phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Outwoods and filled petrol in a diesel bright yellow Skoda Fabia rental in error. She was pretty irritated it seemed, stating "I cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to fret, plus that things like this unfortunately happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe area and, because it was only a few miles away from the office, we could get to the lady fairly quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive away contented and not so concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Staffordshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Outwoods (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Staffordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your automobile in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to refill your vehicle. They can also take care of the common troubles that might accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question an important matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol may result in idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both situations very simply.

Remember though that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

What a good night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a gloomy Sunday and we were on my way to assist an old lady who put petrol in her diesel classic Nissan Murano in Outwoods. I had been advised she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up along a rural lane on the way to see her grandchildren. I punched the location into the TomTom and arrived in less than 60 minutes. I turned up at the car and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the car. As I was doing it she said, "I have been becoming fairly absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car working with diesel as I'd only just purchased it a week back right after my previous one, which I had owned for in excess of twenty five years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I completed the job and she gave me a toffee and said thanks. What a delightful Staffordshire lady!

Wrong Fuel Assist Outwoods - Wrong Fuel in Car Outwoods

I had appreciated a great afternoon fishing on my off day and felt pleased the following day as I set off to assist a new family vacationing in Outwoods. They had conked out after inserting diesel in their classic Austin Mini Cooper, and were approximately an hour's travel away. I turned up at their car and laughed to myself as I listened to the woman telling her hubby off for being so silly. "How could you even be able to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to tell her that this problem happens all the time in Staffordshire and that it is nothing to worry about, nonetheless he all the same had an earful by his better half. Unfortunate guy. In any case, I removed all the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some proper fuel. While they drove down the road I waved good-bye and wondered what my wife would do to me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never ever live it down!
