It was before 9 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ryan and I were sitting talking over the sports results, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain that day to arrive. Finally we got a call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Tamworth and put petrol in a diesel Suzuki hire car. She was pretty irritated it seemed, telling me "I can't believe I have wrecked the car! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected position and, since it was no more than a few minutes from our van, we could get to the woman rather quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive off satisfied and less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Staffordshire well done in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Staffordshire we are encountering more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to motorists being unsure of the way to to make use of (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us in the event that you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to fix all types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant condition to take care of in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank is going to bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations very easily.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a vehicle parking bay we can access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel container laying in the rear of your garden with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial properties in Staffordshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we can empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Tamworth (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Staffordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill the car if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) to refill your car or truck. They can also take care of any of the typical problems which may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Tamworth - Tamworth Wrong Fuel Drain

The other day a youngster telephoned us after his Volvo ground to a halt on a road in Tamworth. He had accidentally put petrol in his diesel vehicle and drove as far as the road before being forced to stop. It was yet in the early hours of the day and our technical engineer, who stays close by, was with him in about 10 minutes. We managed to get rid of the wrong fuel and put clean diesel yet again in the car. "Genuine thanks to you for your timely response, and in particular at 5 a.m., I really am grateful for it."
