It was close to eight pm on a Monday and though we were assured a rainless evening, it had not stopped raining! Brian and I were sitting there talking about the tennis, prepared for the 6th call for the day to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Newtown and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Smart rental car. The unfortunate lady was quite troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I simply can't believe I have messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to worry, also that these things regrettably happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe position and, because it was no more than a few miles off from the office, we could reach her fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the hotel she was staying at. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off satisfied and less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Staffordshire done well in my books!

Our Services:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Staffordshire we have discovered more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of people not understanding the right way to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out immediately. And of course take care not to start up the motor - not even to shift it into a parking area. In case you did start the vehicle you may very likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important issue to take care of in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel will lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly quickly.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container laying in the rear of your premises with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business properties in Staffordshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a garage, as long as we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Newtown (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Staffordshire Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up your automobile in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and refill the car. They will be able to take care of the normal issues which can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
