In due time we received a call from a woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Sandford Hill and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Suzuki lease car in error. She was quite distressed apparently, stating "I can't believe that I've destroyed the car!

Our Areas of Competence :

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Staffordshire we have found a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly due to motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As the product is mostly deionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you end up in this position don?t fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the practical skills and experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant matter to address in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can certainly result in idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed correctly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both cases rather quickly.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near to a vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Have a fuel tank lying in the rear of your garden full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in Staffordshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even numerous containers in a garage, if we are able to get to it, we can empty it for you.
