It was around 8 pm on a Wednesday and while we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were relaxing going over the tennis rankings, waiting for the seventh job for the day to come in. Finally we received the call from a lovely women on a company trip who had gone to the Esso filling station in Brown Edge and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel MG hire car. She was pretty troubled it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to fret, and that things like this unfortunately happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure spot and, seeing that it was just a few minutes off from the office, we could reach her fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she could return to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Although we got really soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off calm and a lot less anxious. Another fuel drain in Staffordshire well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Expertise:

We are ready to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Staffordshire we have found more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by drivers not knowing the right way to work with it (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As the product is predominantly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it asap. And definitely never crank the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking place. In case you have started the vehicle you would most likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the fuel can easily lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances fairly quickly.

Bear in mind however that whenever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir laying in the rear of the garden full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and commercial premises in Staffordshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Brown Edge (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Staffordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your automobile if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up your automobile. They will take care of the typical troubles that might accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
