It was after 7 pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and me were resting there going over the weekend's golf rankings, prepared for the seventh fuel drain that day to arrive. Finally we received the call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had gone to the BP filling station in Lapley and put petrol in a diesel Mercedes lease car in error. She was quite affected by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that these things regrettably often happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a secure position and, seeing as it was only a few miles off from our van, we could find the lady swiftly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was residing in.

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Staffordshire we have found a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to drivers not understanding the right way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it right away. And definitely take care not to start the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking area. In the instance that you did start the car you will almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant issue to handle in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank may result in idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both cases quite swiftly.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one is going to be totally wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank placed in the back of your garden containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial premises in Staffordshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Lapley (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Staffordshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your vehicle any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and fill your vehicle. They will be able to take care of the most common problems that might come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Lapley - Lapley Wrong Fuel Assist

A person called us from his residence on a close in Lapley. He explained, "My vehicle (a Vauxhall) is not starting up and is making dreadful sounds when I flip the key." He said that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then thought he would resolve the problem by putting further Diesel on top. We were on scene promptly, performed the fuel drain and filled it up again with fresh Diesel. He told us that he'd be sure to tell people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to get it cleaned out immediately.
