It was around six pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a dry day, it had not stopped raining! Paul and I were sitting going over the weekend's footy results, prepared for the 6th call of the day to come in. Inevitably we had the phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Holt Hill and filled petrol in a diesel Renault rental in error. The unfortunate lady was quite affected by the sounds of it, stating "I can't believe I've wrecked the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to worry, and that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a protected area and, seeing as it was just a few minutes from where we were, we were able to get to her quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the motel she was residing in. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away calm and much less worried. Yet another job in Staffordshire well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Experience :

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

What you should do in the event that you may have poured Adblue into a Diesel tank? It is actually harmful to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically in cases where you run the engine with Adblue in the diesel fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been started up the Adblue is going to be pushed into the fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, bringing about serious and expensive damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

If you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained at once. And certainly do not switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking place. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will probably need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important situation to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel may contribute to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations quite expediently.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir lying at the back of the garden containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial properties in Staffordshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps several drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we can access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Holt Hill (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a full Staffordshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) and fill your car or truck. They can also deal with the normal problems that can go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Holt Hill - Holt Hill Petrol in Diesel

I'd had a terrific evening cycling during my holiday and was feeling contented with myself the next day as I set out to assist a new family who were holidaying in Holt Hill. They had conked out after inserting petrol in their SEAT, and they were close to half an hour away. I emerged at their location and smiled as I heard to the wife telling her spouse off for being so stupid. "Precisely how could you conceivably be able to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to clarify that this kind of thing takes place on a regular basis in Staffordshire and that it's nothing to worry about, but he still got an ear bashing. Poor guy. At any rate, I drained the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I waved so long and considered what my wife would do to me if I made the same mistake... I would never ever hear the end of it!
