It was just after six pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Brian and me were seated talking over the recent tennis, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain that day to come in. In due time we received the phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Thorncliffe and filled petrol in her diesel Honda lease car by mistake. She was quite agitated apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that these things regrettably can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we were able to get to her almost instantly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the motel she was living at. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off satisfied and less stressed. A misfuel correction in Staffordshire done well in my mind!

Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can fix any associated issues.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Staffordshire we are encountering more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree due to motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the car.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Give us a call if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can take care of all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol can easily lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations fairly easily.

Be aware that if the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container at the rear of the garden containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and business properties in Staffordshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even numerous drums in a storage shed, providing we can get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Thorncliffe (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Staffordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your car any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to fill your vehicle. They are also able to take care of any of the most common troubles which can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Thorncliffe - Thorncliffe Wrong Fuel Doctor

A customer rang us from his residence on a street in Thorncliffe. He explained, "My car (a Skoda) is not starting and is making terrible sounds when I turn the ignition." He said that he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would solve the problem by putting more Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, did the fuel drain and filled him up again with clean Diesel. He told us he'd be absolutely sure to advise people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to get it cleaned out immediately.
