It was just before 6 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Ray and I were relaxing talking about the weekend's rugby, at the ready for the sixth job that day to arrive. Before long we got a phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Marston and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Volkswagen rental. The unfortunate lady was somewhat distressed apparently, saying "I can not believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things unfortunately can happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe spot and, because it was just a short distance from where we were, we were able to arrive at the customer swiftly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact we got really wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home relaxed and not so worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Staffordshire well done in my mind!

Here are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Staffordshire we have identified more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly caused by drivers not being aware of the right way to to make use of (note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Call us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily fix all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to deal with in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel may trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed correctly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both cases rather swiftly.

You should know however that any time the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will be totally water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to an automobile parking spot we can gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container placed at the back of your premises containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and industrial 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 remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a shed, if we can access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Marston (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a complete Staffordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) to fill your car. They will be able to handle the normal problems which may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Marston - Marston Fuel Removal

I had appreciated a terrific afternoon fishing during my holiday and felt delighted the next working day as I set off to help a young family away in Marston. They'd broken down after inserting diesel in their Mitsubishi, and were about half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their location and laughed to myself while I heard to the woman telling her partner off for actually being so daft. "Exactly how could you even manage to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this kind of thing takes place constantly in Staffordshire and that it's nothing at all to worry about, nonetheless he yet still got an earful by his missus. Poor lad. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some proper fuel. As they drove off I shouted good bye and pondered on what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I did the same thing... I'd never ever hear the end of it!
