It was before seven pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were seated going over the recent golf results, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain to arrive. Eventually we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Whittington and filled petrol in a diesel Mitsubishi hire car. The unfortunate thing was very irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that such things unfortunately often happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a secure area and, seeing as it was only a few minutes away from our van, we were able to find the customer almost instantly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home satisfied and not so worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Staffordshire well done in my books!

Provided Services:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Staffordshire we are finding more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a consequence of people not being aware of the way to use it (be aware: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because the product is mostly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Contact us in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can handle all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a serious matter to deal with in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel will bring about idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both cases very simply.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to parking spot we will be able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank placed at the back of your garden full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in Staffordshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Whittington (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a complete Staffordshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) to fill your car or truck. They can also deal with the usual issues which can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Whittington - Whittington Fuel Rescue

A motorist had conked out just off a street in Whittington. His Renault motor had stopped running and he had no idea what was faulty right up until he noticed he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to get a fuel drain and that is when he explained to us: "I cannot believe that I did not comprehend that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He claimed that he had got zero sleep the evening before and that must have been the key reason why.
