This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Staffordshire we have identified a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially as a result of motorists not being totally sure how to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained asap. And definitely never start up the vehicle - not even to move it from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a significant situation to handle in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol is likely to trigger idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both situations quite swiftly.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container placed at the rear of the garden containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and business properties in Staffordshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even some containers in a shed, as long as we can reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Farewell (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete Staffordshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill up your vehicle. They will handle the typical problems that might go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in Farewell

Reports from our Farewell technicians:

We recently got a phone call about a driver who had put the wrong fuel in his BMW in Farewell. He had conked out on the street. "After putting unleaded in my diesel car I didn't notice the problem till we conked out. You cleared the wrong fuel from my car and got it running . I was amazed due to both your call-out time and your rates". Of course we got there punctually and flushed the engine after draining all the wrong fuel from the diesel tank.

Wrong Fuel Assist Farewell - Farewell Wrong Fuel Assist

It truly was the night shift. It was around dawn and hardly anyone was stirring. It had been rather uneventful so far, and me and Paul were loafing looking through a number of old papers. That was an unusual quiet time in Staffordshire. Actually it was in fact so peaceful that the instant my mobile rang I leaped with surprise! The person stated: "I just completed my overnight shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in a diesel MINI". I told him to inform us where the car was situated and we set off, getting to him in Farewell under 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was cleaned from the vehicle. He said thanks a lot for arriving so quickly. As we were returning home we saw two young women at the side of the street who looked like they had a flat. As a result we got out and helped them change it, much to their delight.

Wrong Fuel Assist Farewell - Farewell Wrong Fuel in Car

I had appreciated a perfect afternoon fishing on my day off and was feeling satisfied the following working day as I headed out to aid a new couple away in Farewell. They had pulled over after adding the wrong fuel into their Ford, and they were roughly half an hour's drive away. I emerged at their location and laughed to myself as I heard to the lady chastising her spouse for actually being so daft. "Just how could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this kind of thing takes place all the time in Staffordshire and that it's nothing to stress about, nonetheless he all the same got an ear bashing. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed all the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted goodbye and wondered what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I made the same blunder... I would under no circumstances live it down!
