It was around 7 pm on a Thursday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and I were sitting there discussing the recent rugby, waiting for the sixth telephone call to arrive. Eventually we received the call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Kidsgrove and put petrol in her diesel Land Rover lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I still cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and also that things like this unfortunately do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a protected space and, because it was just a short distance off from where we were, we could arrive at the lady rather quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away relaxed and much less apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in Staffordshire well done in my mind!

Services Our Company Offers:

Listed here are the top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Staffordshire we have encountered progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a consequence of motorists being unsure of how to to make use of (remember: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to attend to all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a significant condition to deal with in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel can easily contribute to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both cases fairly easily.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to parking spot we are able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank placed at the back of your premises full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial premises in Staffordshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Out of fuel in Kidsgrove (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a full Staffordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your vehicle if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up your car.

A gentleman phoned us from Kidsgrove to state that he unfortunately pumped unleaded in to his diesel Honda. "I can't believe it! I can't believe I put petrol in my diesel car!" It only took the technician roughly 50 minutes to fully drain the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. He thoroughly cleaned the fuel lines, filter and pumps and then put clean diesel in the vehicle.
