It was before 9 pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ryan and I were relaxing there talking about the football, prepared for the 6th fuel drain of the day to come in. In due time we had a phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Warstone and filled petrol in a diesel BMW rental car by mistake. She was rather irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I still can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to fret, and that things like this unfortunately do happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a protected space and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles from us, we could reach her rather quickly. The bad fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Although we got very drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away calm and much less anxious. One more job in Staffordshire well done in my mind!

Services Our Company Offers:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Staffordshire we have seen a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by drivers not understanding the way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And absolutely be careful not to turn over the motor - not even to move it into a parking bay. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel can potentially bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both situations fairly quickly.

Keep in mind however that if the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close to an automobile parking bay we can gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container sitting at the rear of your garden full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and business properties in Staffordshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Warstone (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full Staffordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your vehicle if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and fill your car. They will handle any of the usual problems that may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Warstone - Warstone Petrol in Diesel

I appreciated a fantastic afternoon cycling on my day off and was feeling contented the next day as I headed out to help a new couple vacationing in Warstone. They'd pulled over after putting the wrong fuel in their Fiat, and the car was approximately an hour's travel away. I arrived at their position and smiled as I heard to the wife chastising her hubby for being so daft. "Exactly how could you conceivably find a way to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this comes to pass quite frequently in Staffordshire and that it's actually nothing at all to be anxious about, and yet he yet still got his ear bent. Unlucky lad. At any rate, I extracted the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. As they drove off I mouthed good bye and considered what my wife would say to me if perhaps I made the same mistake... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
