It was before 9 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ray and I were resting there talking about the recent tennis rankings, waiting for the sixth call that day to come in. In due time we had a call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had gone to the BP filling station in Mucklestone and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Hyundai lease car in error. She was quite agitated apparently, saying "I simply can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol car I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to fret, also that these things sadly often happen. She managed to get the car to a protected position and, because it was just a short distance off from our van, we were able to reach the woman rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the motel she was lodging at. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home relaxed and not so worried. Yet another job in Staffordshire done well in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Staffordshire we have found more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of motorists not being aware of how to use it (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to take care of all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both cases rather swiftly.

Remember that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container in the back of your garden with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business premises in Staffordshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a garage, if we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Mucklestone (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive Staffordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your automobile if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) to refill your vehicle. They can also deal with the standard troubles which can accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Mucklestone - Mucklestone Petrol in Diesel

A gentleman contacted us from his house on a close in Mucklestone. He explained, "My vehicle (a Peugeot) is not starting and is generating dreadful sounds when I flip the key." He confessed that he had put unleaded in his diesel car but then thought he would solve the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We got there promptly, performed the drain and filled it up once more with untainted Diesel. He said that he'd be certain to tell people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to have it drained immediately.
