It was just before six pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not ceased raining! Ray and I were seated there commenting on the weekend's footy, ready for the sixth job of the day to come in. Eventually we had the call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Rodbaston and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Mazda hire car by mistake. She was very distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to worry, and also that things like this happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a secure position and, seeing that it was just a short distance from us, we were able to arrive at the woman quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home relaxed and much less worried. Yet another job in Staffordshire well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Expertise:

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your car? We can solve any related problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Staffordshire we have encountered a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partly caused by people not knowing how to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to handle different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant matter to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel can certainly cause idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both situations very easily.

Remember that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be completely wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to a vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir laying in the back of your garden containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business properties in Staffordshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can get to it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Rodbaston (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full Staffordshire Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to refill the car. They can also handle any of the typical issues that could go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
