It was after 6 pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not given up on raining! Ray and I were relaxing going over the footy, at the ready for the next job to come in. Inevitably we got the phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Leek and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Mercedes rental car by mistake. She was rather affected by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe I have wrecked the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to fret, and also that these things sadly happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a safe spot and, because it was no more than a few minutes off from our van, we could arrive at the lady without delay. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could go home to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off satisfied and not so worried. Yet another fuel drain in Staffordshire done well in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Staffordshire we are finding progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from people not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it asap. And obviously take care not to start the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In the event that you did start the vehicle you will very likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol can contribute to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both circumstances very expediently.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank sitting at the back of your premises with old, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and industrial properties in Staffordshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even some containers in a garage, assuming that we are able to access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Leek (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a comprehensive Staffordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up the car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill up your car.

It was actually in the early hours of the morning and our fuel drainer, who stays nearby, reached him in approximately 20 minutes. We were able to drain the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel back into the car. "Sincere thanks to you for your fast response, especially at 6 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."
