It was just before six pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and me were relaxing there commenting on the weekend's sports rankings, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain that day to come in. Before long we received the phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Rugeley and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Jaguar rental car. The unfortunate lady was quite affected it seemed, telling me "I simply can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that such things unfortunately often happen. She managed to relocate the car into a safe area and, since it was only a short distance from where we were, we were able to arrive at the customer quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive home satisfied and much less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Staffordshire well done in my opinion!

Here are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Staffordshire we have seen a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to drivers not being totally sure the right way to work with it (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As the product is primarily ionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will attend to different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank may contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both circumstances pretty easily.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container laying at the back of the garden with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and industrial premises in Staffordshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even some drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Rugeley (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Staffordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill your car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill up your car or truck. They are also able to deal with any of the usual troubles which could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.
