It was around 6 pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not given up on raining! Paul and I were sitting going over the weekend's footy, at the ready for the next telephone call of the day to arrive. In due time we had a phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Chatcull and filled petrol in a diesel Honda rental. The poor lady was rather distressed apparently, saying "I can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to worry, and that these things regrettably can happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected area and, as it was only a few minutes away from our van, we could find her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off relaxed and much less concerned. Another misfuel correction in Staffordshire well done in my opinion!

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

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Staffordshire we are identifying increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by motorists being unsure of the right way to to make use of (be aware: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the car.

Now, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And of course never crank the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can potentially trigger idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations fairly swiftly.

Take note that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container sitting at the rear of your garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in Staffordshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Chatcull (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Staffordshire Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill the car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to refill your automobile. They will be able to take care of the typical troubles that could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Chatcull - Chatcull Vehicle Misfuel

A week ago a motorist contacted us just after his SEAT cut out in the middle of a street in Chatcull. He had inadvertently put petrol in the diesel motor and drove to the street before having to halt. It was yet in the early hours of the morning and our technician, who lives not far away, was with him in approximately 20 minutes. We were able to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel back in the vehicle. "Genuine thanks to you for your timely response, particularly at 5 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."
