Paul and I were sitting discussing the weekend's tennis results, at the ready for the 8th job for the day to come in. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Castletown and put petrol in her diesel Dacia rental by mistake. She was pretty affected apparently, telling me "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!"

Our Services:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

In Staffordshire we are discovering a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree stemming from people being unsure of how to to make use of (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained right away. And most definitely do not start the engine - not even to move it into a parking area. In the instance that you have started the car you will most likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious issue to address in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in fuel may produce idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with fully, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both situations fairly quickly.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container placed at the back of your garden with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial properties in Staffordshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even some containers in a garage, providing we can get to it, we can certainly drain it.

We're able to get out to fill up your car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home.
