Our Fields of Specialties:

We are willing to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Staffordshire we have discovered an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly stemming from drivers not being totally sure the way to to make use of (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to one another on the car.

So, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As the product is mainly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it at once. And of course take care not to crank the car - not even to move it to a parking area. In case you have started the car you will most likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel will trigger idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with fully, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both cases quite easily.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Fuel Drain Consall - Consall Fuel Removal

I had a fantastic afternoon hiking during my holiday and was feeling delighted the following working day as I was on the way to aid a young couple who were vacationing in Consall. They broken down after inserting diesel into their Audi, and the car was around an hour away. I got there at their position and smiled as I listened to the girl chastising her spouse for actually being so silly. "How could you possibly be able to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to tell her that this situation goes on continuously in Staffordshire and that it is nothing at all to worry about, however he in spite of everything got an ear bashing. Poor boy. At any rate, I removed the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some right fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted good-bye and thought about what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I made the same error... I'd personally never hear the end of it!
