It was after 8 pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it had not given up on raining! James and me were relaxing there talking over the weekend's golf, at the ready for the next job of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had a phone call from a woman on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Pattingham and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Volkswagen rental car by mistake. She was quite irritated apparently, crying "I can't believe I've messed up the car! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that things like this happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a protected area and, since it was no more than a short distance off from where we were, we could find the lady almost instantly. The bad fuel was drained so she could return to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive home relaxed and not so apprehensive. One more job in Staffordshire well done in my books!

Our Areas of Specialties:

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Staffordshire we are finding more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly as a result of motorists not knowing the right way to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously never turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking area. In case you have started the car you would in all probability need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a significant matter to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank can contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both circumstances fairly simply.

Remember that so long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will be totally wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container laying in the back of your premises containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial properties in Staffordshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a number of containers in a storage shed, if we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Pattingham (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete Staffordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to fill up the car. They are also able to take care of the most common issues which could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Pattingham - Pattingham Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had appreciated a terrific day golfing during my off day and felt pleased with myself the following morning as I was on the way to aid a young couple vacationing in Pattingham. They conked out after putting petrol in their Chevrolet, and they were close to an hour's travel away. I arrived at their position and laughed while I heard to the gal telling her husband off for actually being so daft. "Exactly how could you conceivably find a way to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this problem takes place on daily basis in Staffordshire and that it is absolutely nothing to stress about, even so he in spite of everything had an ear bashing by his wife. Poor lad. Anyway, I drained out all of the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive off I mouthed farewell and thought about what my missus would do to me if I did the very same thing... I'd never hear the end of it!
