It was just after 5 pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were relaxing there talking over the recent football, prepared for the sixth call of the day to arrive. Finally we had a call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Offleymarsh and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Vauxhall lease car in error. She was quite agitated apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that these things sadly can happen.

The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was living in.

Services We Offer:

Below are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Staffordshire we are encountering a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by motorists not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? As the product is predominantly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely don't crank the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In the event that you did start the car you would in all probability have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant matter to handle in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol can easily bring about idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both cases very quickly.

Keep in mind though that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a car parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}
