It was just after five pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a dry day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were sitting there discussing the weekend's golf, waiting around for the 6th telephone call of the day to arrive. Eventually we received a phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Westlands and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Mitsubishi rental car in error. She was quite irritated apparently, stating "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that such things sadly happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a safe position and, since it was only a short distance off from the office, we could get to her rather quickly. The bad fuel was taken out so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was staying at. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive off contented and less anxious.

Our Areas of Experience :

Listed here are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Staffordshire we have discovered more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to drivers not knowing the right way to to make use of (important: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the car.

Well, what's the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly don't turn over the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. In cases where you did start the car you may almost certainly have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important issue to deal with in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can certainly contribute to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both circumstances very quickly.

Be aware that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your premises with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial premises in Staffordshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a garage, assuming that we can get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Westlands (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Staffordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and refill your car or truck. They are also able to fix the common problems which may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Westlands - Westlands Wrong Fuel Drain

I had enjoyed a great evening golfing on my off day and was feeling pleased with myself the next day as I headed out to assist a new couple on holiday in Westlands. They'd pulled over after filling the wrong fuel into their Vauxhall, and the car was close to half an hour away. I showed up at their car and smirked to myself while I heard to the wife chastising her partner for turning out to be so daft. "How could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I wanted to clarify that this occurs on daily basis in Staffordshire and that it is nothing to stress about, but he still got his ear bent. Unlucky chap. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. Watching while they drove away I waved goodbye and considered what her indoors would tell me in the event that I did the same thing... I would under no circumstances live it down!
