It was about 7 pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Dan and I were resting there commenting on the golf rankings, ready for the seventh job that day to come in. Inevitably we had a call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Elmhurst and filled petrol in her diesel Hyundai hire car in error. She was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I still can't believe that I've messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that such things often happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a protected spot and, because it was no more than a few miles from the office, we could get to the lady fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the motel she was staying at. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home calm and a lot less concerned. Another misfuel correction in Staffordshire done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Expertise :

We can assist you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

Engine with incorrect fuel - If you add wrong fuel like petrol in diesel cars, there can be several challenges. Your engine coughs and stutters, and gives out a lot of smoke. Also, your vehicle stalls and refuses to start again. Diesel in a petrol vehicle does exactly the same. Whatsoever be the situation, we'll sort things out.

Tank filled up with water - Water can contaminate your engine and it must be taken out of the fuel system in order to avoid damages and rust in your engine. When you accelerate hard your engine, it may start to rev up and jolt. Contamination like this is not only common in boats. This can happen to the vehicle too due to the jerry cans that were previously used as a water container then later used as fuel container where water was not totally emptied.

Fuel Tank with AdBlue - This contamination takes place when you immediately put AdBlue to your tank or you may have mistakenly did it. Misinformation could be one of the reasons. People think it?s a fuel additive, it?s not. AdBlue is a liquid that?s added to reduce the harmful effect of your engine?s emission in the exhaust. It must be installed in an individual tank for a particular purpose. A lot of drivers are victims of this contamination but don?t fret because we know how to handle it.

Red Diesel Contamination - Mostly this happens due to accident. Distraction or not focused in filling up the tank from a tank or jerry can is one of the common reasons of this contamination. This can probably take place as there are 1500 UK garages that sell this type of diesel. If it happens to you, we'll handle it fast and efficiently.

Driving with Old Fuel - As time passes by and your vehicle is idle for a long time, the quality of your fuel degrades. This happens if the car is not driven and has been on standby for a long time and the fuel has been in the tank unused. Your engine might start and run, but it probably won't run as well. This is a service that we can offer to you. We'll empty the old fuel and refueled it with new ones.
