It was around ten pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it had not given up on pouring! Dan and I were seated there discussing the rugby results, waiting for the 8th call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we got the phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Hanchurch and put petrol in a diesel Vauxhall rental in error. She was rather affected it seemed, crying "I cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to fret, plus that things like this sadly often happen. She managed to get the car to a safe spot and, as it was no more than a short distance off from the office, we were able to arrive at the customer swiftly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home calm and less stressed. One more fuel drain in Staffordshire well done in my mind!

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Staffordshire we have identified a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially caused by drivers not being totally sure how to to make use of (take note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out immediately. And most certainly never switch on the car - not even to relocate it off of the pump. If you have started the vehicle you may in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank will often bring about idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both situations very swiftly.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to an automobile parking spot we can access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel container at the back of the garden with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in Staffordshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a shed, provided that we can access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Hanchurch (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Staffordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your car any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) and fill your car. They will deal with any of the usual problems that may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Hanchurch - Hanchurch Wrong Fuel Drain

A man phoned us from his place on a street in Hanchurch. He exclaimed, "My car (a Hyundai) is not starting and is producing dreadful noises when I turn the ignition." He admitted that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would resolve the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We arrived promptly, carried out the drain and filled it up again with clean Diesel. He said he would be certain to inform people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to have it drained right away.
