It was just after 6 pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ryan and I were seated commenting on the golf, ready for the 8th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Before long we got the phone call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Mucklestone and filled petrol in her diesel Porsche lease car. The poor lady was rather troubled apparently, telling me "I still cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to fret, plus that such things sadly can happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a secure space and, seeing that it was only a short distance from where we were, we were able to get to the customer without delay. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could return to the Premier Inn she was living in. Even though we got really wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off relaxed and a lot less concerned. Another fuel drain in Staffordshire done well in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

In Staffordshire we are discovering a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly stemming from motorists being unsure of how to work with it (pay attention: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to handle all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually an important matter to deal with in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel will bring about idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both situations fairly quickly.

Take note however that any time the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank sitting in the rear of your garden full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in Staffordshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a storage shed, if we can get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Mucklestone (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Staffordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your automobile if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and refill your car or truck. They are also able to fix the standard issues which could accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Mucklestone - Mucklestone Fuel Removal

A customer contacted us from his place on a road in Mucklestone. He said, "My vehicle (a Volvo) is not running and is creating awful noises when I flip the ignition." He admitted that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would remedy the problem by putting further Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, performed the drain and filled him up once again with clean Diesel. He told us he'd be absolutely sure to tell people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to have it drained promptly.
