It was just after 5 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were promised a dry night, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ray and I were resting discussing the golf rankings, prepared for the seventh fuel drain for the day to arrive. Finally we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Town Head and filled petrol in her diesel Chevrolet lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was quite affected apparently, telling me "I still can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that things like this unfortunately do happen.

Do you or your employees usually misfuel your car? We can resolve any connected problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Staffordshire we have encountered a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to motorists not being aware of the way to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to one another on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously never start the vehicle - not even to move it away from the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol will likely lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both cases fairly swiftly.

You should know however that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a car parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir at the rear of your premises with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and industrial properties in Staffordshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a shed, providing we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Town Head (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Staffordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill the car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home.
