It was after six pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a rainless evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were relaxing there talking about the weekend's footy results, waiting for the 6th call to arrive. Before long we got a call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Lea Heath and put petrol in a diesel Mercedes hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe that I have ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to fret, also that things like this sadly can happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe spot and, seeing as it was only a short distance away from us, we were able to arrive at the woman rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive off relaxed and a lot less anxious. One more job in Staffordshire well done in my opinion!

Here are the top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

In Staffordshire we have discovered progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part caused by people not knowing the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Give us a call if you are going through AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to fix all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious matter to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel may well cause idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both situations pretty swiftly.

Remember however that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be wholly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car or truck parking bay we can access the storage and drain out the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel container lying in the rear of the garden with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and industrial premises in Staffordshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even several containers in a garage, assuming that we can get to it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Lea Heath (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete Staffordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill the car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) and fill the car. They will deal with the common troubles that can accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Lea Heath - Lea Heath Fuel Drain

A couple weeks ago a driver contacted us just after his Dacia stopped working along a road in Lea Heath. He had inadvertently put petrol in the diesel motor and was only able to get as far as the street before being forced to pull up. It was still early in the day and our engineer, who lives not far away, reached him in approximately 20 minutes. We were able to get rid of the wrong fuel and put clean diesel back into the vehicle. "Genuine thanks to you for your timely response, particularly at 3 a.m., I truly appreciate it."
