Incorrect fuel in your car in Newton Hurst? You've come to the right place. We are here to aid you in this emergency and get you driving once more with our specialist fuel drain service.

It was before eight pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were sitting discussing the tennis results, prepared for the 6th call to arrive. Before long we had a phone call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Newton Hurst and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Suzuki rental car. She was pretty troubled it seemed, stating "I still cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to worry, and also that these things regrettably often happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a secure area and, since it was no more than a short distance from the office, we were able to arrive at the woman without delay. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off relaxed and a lot less concerned. One more job in Staffordshire done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Competence :

Below are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Staffordshire we are finding more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of people not understanding the way to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the car.

So, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And obviously never switch on the engine - not even to shift it from the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you would almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important issue to address in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel is going to produce idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both situations fairly simply.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be wholly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a motor vehicle parking spot we can reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel container placed in the rear of the garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial properties in Staffordshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even several containers in a garage, assuming that we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Newton Hurst (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Staffordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your vehicle if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up the car. They will be able to deal with any of the most common problems that may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
