It was after five pm on a Friday and while we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and I were relaxing there discussing the weekend's tennis, prepared for the sixth call of the day to arrive. Before long we got a call from a lady on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Heatley and put petrol in a diesel Kia rental by mistake. The poor lady was quite agitated it seemed, saying "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I had forgot I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to worry, also that things like this sadly do happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a protected area and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we could find the woman fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got very wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home satisfied and a lot less worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Staffordshire well done in my opinion!

Services We Offer:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Staffordshire we have noticed a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of motorists being unsure of how to use it (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And obviously take care not to turn over the car - not even to move it off of the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to address in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the fuel can potentially lead to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both cases quite quickly.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will be completely water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank sitting in the back of your garden with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and business properties in Staffordshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Heatley (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full Staffordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill your car. They will be able to take care of the usual troubles that might go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Heatley - Heatley Wrong Fuel Drain

A person phoned us from Heatley saying he had mistakenly pumped the wrong fuel in his diesel Hyundai. "Unbelievable! How could I put unleaded in my diesel car!" It only took the specialist roughly 50 minutes to fully drain the incorrect fuel out of the vehicle. He totally flushed the fuel lines, filter and pumps and put clean diesel in the vehicle. The customer was happy and it didn't cost him dealer rates to have the task properly performed.
