It was just before 7 pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and I were resting commenting on the weekend's tennis, ready for the next telephone call of the day to come in. Before long we received the call from a lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Cotes and put petrol in her diesel Vauxhall hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was very irritated apparently, saying "I cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to worry, and that things like this regrettably often happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a protected space and, because it was only a short distance off from where we were, we could find her quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying at.

Our Areas of Experience :

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Staffordshire we are identifying progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (take note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And most definitely don't crank the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will most likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a serious issue to deal with in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank will often result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both circumstances fairly easily.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one is going to be wholly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container at the back of your premises containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial properties in Staffordshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Cotes (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Staffordshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your vehicle if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to fill your car or truck. They are also able to fix any of the typical problems that may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
