It was just after 8 pm on a Saturday and while we were promised a dry night, it had not stopped raining! Dan and I were sitting commenting on the weekend's football rankings, waiting around for the 8th job to come in. Finally we had a phone call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Coldham and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Volvo hire car. She was rather agitated apparently, crying "I still cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that such things do happen. She was able to get the car to a safe area and, seeing that it was only a short distance away from us, we were able to arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact we got really wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off calm and a lot less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Staffordshire done well in my opinion!

Our Services:

Listed here are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

What you should do in case you may have poured Adblue into a Diesel tank? AdBlue is a liquid made from a mix of urea and ionized water (67.5%).It is certainly disastrous to your car's fuel system, especially any time you run the engine with Adblue in your diesel tank. As soon as the engine has been started the Adblue will be pulled into your fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, bringing about disastrous and expensive problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

If in case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely be careful not to start the car - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In case you did start the car you may probably need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to address in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank can lead to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out properly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances pretty easily.

You should know however that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a vehicle parking bay we can reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container placed in the rear of your premises with aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial premises in Staffordshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Coldham (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Staffordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) and fill your car or truck. They are also able to take care of any of the typical problems that could come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Coldham - Coldham Petrol in Diesel

A customer had conked out off a road in Coldham. His MINI car had ceased running and he had no clue what was faulty until eventually he realised he put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He called us to request a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I can't believe that I didn't detect that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He stated that he had got very little sleep the day before and that must have been the reason why.
