It was around 10 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and me were resting there talking about the weekend's rugby, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain of the day to come in. Finally we received a phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Trent Vale and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Mitsubishi lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was quite agitated apparently, stating "I just can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and that such things can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected position and, because it was only a short distance off from the office, we could arrive at her rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could go home to the motel she was lodging in. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive off calm and less anxious. One more fuel drain in Staffordshire well done in my mind!

Our service is totally mobile and we will be able to come out no matter exactly where you are and have the vehicle drained, flushed and running just as before in no time - and for an acceptable price!

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Staffordshire we are noticing progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly thanks to motorists not being aware of the way to work with it (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As the product is primarily ionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained asap. And definitely be careful not to turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would very likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to handle in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel may well result in idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both cases fairly expediently.

Keep in mind that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will probably be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to an automobile parking spot we will be able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir at the rear of the garden containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial premises in Staffordshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Trent Vale (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Staffordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your vehicle if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) to fill up your car. They will take care of any of the typical troubles which might go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Trent Vale - Trent Vale Fuel Rescue

A gentleman had stopped near a street in Trent Vale. His Hyundai motor had ceased operating and he'd no idea what was the problem until eventually he realised he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he told us: "I can't believe that I didn't detect that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He claimed that he had gotten zero rest the evening before and that could have been the reason why.
