It was just after 9 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry evening, it had not stopped raining! Dan and me were resting talking about the weekend's footy, prepared for the sixth job to arrive. In due time we had a call from a young lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Knighton and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Vauxhall lease car. She was very irritated apparently, telling me "I can't believe I have messed up the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to fret, also that such things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a safe position and, as it was no more than a few minutes from our van, we could arrive at the woman right away. The contaminated fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact we got really drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off satisfied and much less anxious. One more fuel drain in Staffordshire well done in my mind!

Our Services:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Staffordshire we are finding progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by people not being totally sure the way to use it (remember: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And certainly do not start up the car - not even to move it off the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important issue to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can easily trigger idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both cases pretty easily.

Be aware that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel container sitting at the back of the garden with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and business properties in Staffordshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced 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 reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a garage, assuming that we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Knighton (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Staffordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) and fill your vehicle. They will take care of any of the standard issues that can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.


Wrong Fuel Drain Knighton - Knighton Fuel Removal

I had a perfect day hiking during my off day and felt delighted the following working day as I was on the way to help a young family vacationing in Knighton. They'd conked out after adding diesel into their Nissan, and were close to an hour away. I turned up at their position and smiled to myself while I heard to the woman berating her partner for turning out to be so foolish. "Exactly how could you conceivably find a way to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this kind of thing goes on all the time in Staffordshire and that it is absolutely nothing to get worried about, but he still had an ear bashing. Unlucky chap. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed all of the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some correct fuel. Watching while they drove off I mouthed hasta la vista and considered what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I made the same mistake... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car Knighton - Knighton Vehicle Misfuel

A driver from Knighton with her youngsters in her diesel Mazda had filled her car with £20 of petrol at the Texaco service station. She phoned us weeping and extremely upset as she had never wrong fuelled before and didn't know what might happen to her vehicle in doing so. We assured her that all would be ok and that she would be back in action very quickly. When we arrived on scene she was visible distressed but while our fuel drainer got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she discovered that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She quickly brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I just can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my car! Specifically with the children in the back."
