It was before 6 pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ryan and me were sitting talking over the recent footy rankings, prepared for the sixth job of the day to arrive. Eventually we had a call from a girl on a business trip who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Knightley and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Citroen hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was quite troubled apparently, stating "I still cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to worry, and also that things like this often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a protected spot and, seeing as it was only a short distance from our van, we could arrive at her without delay. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive home contented and not so concerned. A job in Staffordshire well done in my books!

Our Areas of Competence :

We are willing to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Staffordshire we have identified more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly as a result of people not knowing how to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Contact us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to take care of all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to address in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol will lead to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both circumstances pretty simply.

You should know that if the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will probably be completely wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container laying in the back of your premises full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial premises in Staffordshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps some drums in a shed, if we can get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Knightley (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete Staffordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your car if you are having difficulty on a 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 the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill your automobile. They will deal with the typical troubles which might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Knightley - Knightley Fuel Drain

A couple weeks ago a young man phoned us because his MINI broke down along a road in Knightley.

It was still early in the day and our fuel drainer, who stays nearby, reached him in approximately 15 minutes. We were able to remove the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel yet again in to the vehicle. "Thank you for your fast response, and in particular at 1 a.m., I truly appreciate it."
