Our Areas of Competency :

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Staffordshire we have encountered an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially caused by people not knowing how to use it (pay attention: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the car.

So, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? As the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Whenever you end up in this situation do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination company. Our engineers possess the technical know-how and working experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a significant matter to address in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank can easily lead to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not addressed correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both circumstances very expediently.

Remember that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to parking spot we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel tank laying in the rear of the garden with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business premises in Staffordshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a shed, if we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of fuel in Whiston (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Staffordshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your vehicle if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home.
