We can assist you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Staffordshire we have identified a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to people being unsure of the right way to use it (please note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to one another on the car.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely don't turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it from the pump. If you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a significant issue to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel is likely to produce idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both circumstances quite quickly.

Bear in mind though that if the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank laying in the rear of your garden containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and commercial properties in Staffordshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in an outbuilding, provided that we can access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Dilhorne (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Staffordshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill your vehicle any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) to refill your car. They are also able to handle the typical problems that could go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Dilhorne - Dilhorne Fuel Drain

A man called us from Dilhorne to state that he stupidly pumped unleaded in to his diesel Fiat. "Shocking! How could I put the wrong fuel in my beautiful diesel car!" It took our engineer roughly 50 minutes to completely drain the incorrect fuel from the vehicle. He totally flushed the fuel system and after that put clean fuel in the vehicle. The customer was happy and it didn't cost him dealer rates to get the job properly completed.
