If you've put the completely wrong fuel in your car and so require the wrong fuel removed you are most likely searching the internet looking for a quick, reputable, qualified and a relatively inexpensive wrong fuel removal company in Shareshill or Staffordshire. We are the company for your needs!

It was just before 6 pm on a Monday and while we were promised a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were relaxing there commenting on the recent golf, ready for the next call to come in. Before long we received the call from a lady on a company excursion who had gone to the BP filling station in Shareshill and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Smart rental by mistake. She was quite distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe I have ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to fret, also that these things happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a safe area and, as it was just a short distance from where we were, we were able to arrive at the lady fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could go home to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off satisfied and not so concerned. Another job in Staffordshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Staffordshire we have encountered increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a result of drivers not being aware of the way to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it at once. And absolutely take care not to start up the car - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. If perhaps you did start the car you would most likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant situation to take care of in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank will often cause idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with properly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases very swiftly.

Remember though that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel container placed at the back of the garden with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and industrial properties in Staffordshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even several drums in a garage, provided that we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Shareshill (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Staffordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill your car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your automobile. They are also able to fix any of the usual problems which might accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Shareshill - Shareshill Vehicle Misfuel

I had enjoyed a wonderful afternoon cycling on my holiday and was feeling delighted with myself the following morning as I set out to assist a young couple on holiday in Shareshill. They'd stopped after filling diesel in their Dacia, and were approximately an hour away. I turned up at their location and laughed to myself as I heard to the wife chastising her partner for being so daft. "Just how could you possibly be able to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this kind of thing occurs everyday in Staffordshire and that it's actually nothing to be concerned about, and yet he in spite of everything had his ear bent by his missus. Poor guy. Anyhow, I removed all of the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some correct fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted good bye and wondered what her indoors would say to me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I'd under no circumstances live it down!
