It was just after 8 pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a dry and fresh day, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Ryan and I were sitting there going over the footy results, waiting around for the sixth call for the day to come in. Finally we had the call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Featherstone and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Mercedes rental in error. The unfortunate thing was rather distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I can not believe that I've ruined the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to worry, and also that such things do happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a protected position and, since it was no more than a short distance from us, we were able to find the lady almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive home calm and less stressed. A misfuel correction in Staffordshire done well in my opinion!

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Staffordshire we have identified an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by motorists not knowing the right way to use it (pay attention: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you end up in this scenario don?t panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination service. Our engineers have got the specialised competence and working experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important situation to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel is likely to bring about idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied properly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both circumstances rather swiftly.

Bear in mind however that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to an automobile parking bay we can access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel tank sitting at the rear of your garden full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial premises in Staffordshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even a number of containers in a storage shed, provided that we can access it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Featherstone (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Staffordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill your automobile any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill up your automobile. They will be able to take care of the normal issues that can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Featherstone - Featherstone Wrong Fuel

A person called us from his place on a close in Featherstone. He exclaimed, "My vehicle (a Volkswagen) is not running and is making terrible noises when I flip the key." He admitted that he had put unleaded in his diesel car but then reckoned he would resolve the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We arrived promptly, carried out the fuel drain and filled it up once more with untainted Diesel. He told us after that he'd be sure to explain to people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to have it drained right away.
