It was around eight pm on a Saturday and while we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Mark and I were seated there commenting on the recent sports, ready for the next job to come in. Inevitably we got a phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Birchendale and put petrol in her diesel MG hire car in error. She was fairly distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to fret, and also that these things regrettably can happen. She managed to move the car into a secure space and, since it was no more than a few miles away from us, we were able to find the lady quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could return to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home satisfied and much less apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in Staffordshire done well in my opinion!

Services We Offer:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Staffordshire we are finding progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from motorists not being aware of how to work with it (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the car.

So, what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Contact us if you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to attend to different types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank will bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both circumstances quite quickly.

You should know however that if the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close to parking spot we can access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir laying in the back of the garden with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial properties in Staffordshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in a storage shed, if we can reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Birchendale (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Staffordshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill your car. They will handle any of the usual issues which may come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Birchendale - Birchendale Wrong Fuel

A guy had broken down just near a road in Birchendale. His Vauxhall engine had ceased functioning and he'd no idea what was the problem until he noticed he put petrol in his diesel car. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and that's when he informed us: "I cannot believe that I didn't know that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got very little rest the day before and that must have been why.
