Vehicle Misfuel Stoke-on-Trent - Stoke-on-Trent Wrong Fuel Doctor
Ahhh, that was a great night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a gloomy Tuesday and I was off to help an older sweetheart who put the wrong fuel in her diesel Kia in Stoke-on-Trent. I had been advised she had left the petrol station and was pulled up in a rural road along the way to see her family. I got her location punched into the TomTom and was on-scene inside an hour or so. I reached the car and extracted the wrong fuel in the car car. While I was doing the work she explained, "I'm becoming relatively forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car working with diesel seeing that I'd just got it a short while ago because my previous one, which I had had for in excess of twenty years, inevitably died". I got the drain completed and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a precious Staffordshire woman!

It was just after 10 pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and me were resting there talking about the weekend's footy, at the ready for the seventh job to come in. Eventually we got the call from a young lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Stoke-on-Trent and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Dacia lease car. The unfortunate thing was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I simply can't believe I've ruined the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that things like this happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing that it was just a few miles from where we were, we were able to reach the woman right away. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was residing in. Although we got very wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home relaxed and a lot less worried. Yet another job in Staffordshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination
All around Staffordshire we are discovering progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly a result of people not knowing the right way to to make use of (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the vehicle.
So, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As the product is mainly ionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.
If you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And most certainly do not start up the vehicle - not even to shift it from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you would likely need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.
Water contaminated fuel
Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant issue to handle in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank is likely to produce idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both situations quite quickly.
You should know that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.
Boat Fuel Drains
If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to an automobile parking bay we are able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}
Waste Fuel Disposal
Have a fuel container placed at the back of the garden with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial properties in Staffordshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.

We can help to re-fill your automobile 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 techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) to fill up your vehicle. They will be able to handle the usual troubles that can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in Stoke-on-Trent
Various reviews:
We fairly recently had a call about a driver who put the incorrect fuel in his BMW in Stoke-on-Trent. He had conked out on the street. "After putting petrol in my diesel car I didn't notice the dilemma until it ground to a halt. You took the wrong fuel from my car and got it running again. I was happy because of both your call-out time and your price". Of course we showed up punctually and flushed the engine after flushing all of the unleaded from the diesel tank. On arrival the fuel drainer said the customer was fuming, but was grinning his face off after the fuel drain.

Petrol in Diesel Stoke-on-Trent - Stoke-on-Trent Petrol in Diesel
A person rang us from his home on a close in Stoke-on-Trent. He said, "My vehicle (a MG) is not starting up and is making terrible sounds when I flip the key." He confessed that he had put petrol in his diesel car but then reckoned he would fix the issue by putting more Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, did the drain and filled him up once again with untainted Diesel. He told us that he'd be certain to advise people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to get it drained right away.
