It was just after seven pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a rainless night, it had not stopped raining! Dan and me were resting there going over the weekend's footy results, ready for the 8th telephone call of the day to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a woman on a company trip who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Thorncliffe and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Kia rental in error. She was quite troubled it seemed, crying "I just can't believe that I've ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that such things unfortunately happen. She had managed to get the car to a protected position and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes from the office, we could arrive at the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away satisfied and less worried. A fuel drain in Staffordshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Staffordshire we are noticing an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to motorists not being aware of how to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And obviously don't switch on the motor - not even to move it from the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you would likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important issue to address in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol may cause idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both cases fairly easily.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close to parking bay we are able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel reservoir laying in the back of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic 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 extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a storage shed, if we are able to access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Thorncliffe (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Staffordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill the car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to fill up your car or truck. They are also able to handle any of the most common troubles that could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
