Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Lane Ends

If you've put the wrong fuel in your car in Lane Ends (petrol in diesel Lane Ends) we are the company you need to contact. We serve the whole of the Lane Ends region and all adjacent counties.

It was just before five pm on a Friday and even though we were promised a dry evening, it had not ceased pouring! James and I were seated there discussing the footy results, waiting for the seventh telephone call that day to arrive. Finally we received the call from a young lady on a business trip who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Lane Ends and put the wrong fuel in a diesel MINI rental car in error. The poor thing was rather affected apparently, stating "I just can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to worry, plus that things like this sadly happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a secure area and, as it was no more than a few minutes from our van, we could get to the lady fairly quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the motel she was lodging in. Even though we got very drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away relaxed and not so stressed. Another fuel drain in Staffordshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Staffordshire we have identified progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly thanks to motorists being unsure of how to work with it (be aware: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? As the product is primarily ionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out asap. And most definitely take care not to switch on the motor - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you may most likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant condition to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel is likely to result in idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both cases pretty simply.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close to an automobile parking spot we can reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of your garden with aged, 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 properties in Staffordshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even numerous containers in an outbuilding, providing we can get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Lane Ends (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Staffordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill the car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill the car. They will deal with any of the typical troubles which might come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Lane Ends - Lane Ends Wrong Fuel Doctor

A man contacted us from his residence on a close in Lane Ends. He said, "My vehicle (a Toyota) is not running and is creating awful noises when I turn the key." He said that he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would resolve the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We showed up promptly, performed the fuel drain and filled him up once more with untainted Diesel. He said that he would be absolutely sure to educate people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to get it drained right away.
