Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Staffordshire we have noticed more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by motorists being unsure of how to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it at once. And most definitely take care not to start the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may very likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to deal with in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel will likely cause idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out fully, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both situations pretty easily.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to an automobile parking bay we can reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container in the back of your garden with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial properties in Staffordshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even numerous containers in a shed, if we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Doxey (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Staffordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill the car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill up your vehicle. They will be able to take care of any of the typical issues which could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Doxey - Doxey Wrong Fuel Drain

I had a wonderful evening fishing during my holiday and was feeling pleased with myself the following day as I set out to assist a new family who were holidaying in Doxey. They pulled over after adding petrol into their Kia, and the car was around an hour's drive away. I emerged at their car and smirked to myself as I listened to the gal berating her husband for turning out to be so foolish. "How could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I tried to clarify that this happens frequently in Staffordshire and that it's really nothing to be anxious about, but he yet still got an ear bashing. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. While watching them drive away I waved so long and thought about what my wife would tell me in the event that I did the same thing... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!
