It was before seven pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and me were resting there talking about the footy results, ready for the seventh telephone call to come in. Eventually we had a phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Little Heath and put petrol in a diesel Fiat hire car by mistake. The poor lady was somewhat agitated apparently, telling me "I can't believe I have messed up the car! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that such things regrettably often happen. She had managed to get the car into a secure area and, as it was no more than a short distance from the office, we were able to get to her fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the motel she was living at. Although we got very drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away contented and much less stressed. One more misfuel correction in Staffordshire done well in my books!

Services We Give:

Here are the top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Staffordshire we have found increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by motorists being unsure of the way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And certainly be careful not to start the car - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. If you did start the vehicle you will most likely need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious issue to deal with in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel is going to lead to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both circumstances fairly quickly.

Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir in the rear of your premises with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in Staffordshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we can reach it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Little Heath (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Staffordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill the car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) to fill your car. They are also able to take care of any of the usual issues that could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Little Heath - Little Heath Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had appreciated a wonderful evening golfing on the weekend and was feeling contented the next working day as I set out to aid a young family on holiday in Little Heath. They'd broken down after adding the wrong fuel into their SEAT, and the car was roughly half an hour away. I turned up at their car and smiled while I listened to the girl chastising her partner for being so daft. "Exactly how could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this kind of thing happens everyday in Staffordshire and that it's actually nothing to fret about, but he in spite of everything had an earful by his better half. Poor lad. In any case, I drained out the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some correct fuel. While they drove off I shouted good bye and wondered what her indoors would tell me if I made the same error... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!
