It was around 5 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry evening, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were seated there discussing the recent tennis rankings, ready for the sixth call of the day to arrive. Finally we got a phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Ilam and filled petrol in her diesel Chevrolet hire car. The poor lady was very agitated apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that these things regrettably do happen.

Fuel Drain Ilam - Ilam Wrong Fuel in Car

What a good night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a warm Wednesday and I was en route to assist an old woman after she put petrol in her diesel Smart in Ilam. I had been told she had left the petrol station and was pulled up along a rural lane en route to visit her grandchildren. I got the location punched into the TomTom and arrived in less than an hour or so. I reached the destination and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the car. As I was doing the drain she explained, "Now I'm getting rather absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car working with diesel because I had just got it a week back because my old car, which I'd had for in excess of twenty five years, finally died on me". I got the job done and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. What a pleasant Staffordshire woman!

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Staffordshire we have discovered more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent thanks to drivers not being totally sure how to work with it (important: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually almost the same 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 is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Contact us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to attend to all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant issue to deal with in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel will often trigger idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances pretty simply.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir laying in the rear of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in Staffordshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a garage, provided that we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Ilam (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full Staffordshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your automobile in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and fill your car or truck. They will be able to take care of any of the common problems that could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

A woman from Ilam with her children in her diesel Volvo had put £45 of petrol at the Shell petrol station. She contacted us weeping and really worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel previously and did not know what would happen to her vehicle in doing so. We told her that everything should be ok and that she would be back on the road soon. When we arrived on scene she was still upset but while our technician got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she saw that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't ruined. She quickly brightened up and was on her way saying, "I simply can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my car! Particularly with the children in the back."
