It was about 7 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a rainless day, it had not stopped raining! Brian and I were sitting there going over the weekend's rugby rankings, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain that day to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Pattingham and put petrol in her diesel Mazda hire car in error. The unfortunate lady was very irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe I've wrecked the car! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and that such things sadly often happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a safe area and, seeing as it was just a short distance away from our van, we could arrive at her without delay. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off contented and less stressed. One more misfuel correction in Staffordshire done well in my mind!

Provided Services:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Staffordshire we are encountering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a consequence of people not understanding how to work with it (take note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us in the event that you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to handle all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important matter to handle in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank can easily cause idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out 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 circumstances rather easily.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to parking bay we will be able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel tank at the rear of your premises full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Staffordshire to take care of removing 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. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in an outbuilding, providing we can access it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Pattingham (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete Staffordshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to fill up your vehicle.
