It was about 8 pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a dry evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! James and me were relaxing commenting on the sports results, ready for the seventh fuel drain of the day to come in. Before long we had the call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Stoneycroft and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Vauxhall rental by mistake. She was somewhat troubled it seemed, stating "I still cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to fret, plus that things like this can happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a protected area and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance from the office, we were able to find the lady without delay. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could return to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Although we got pretty wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. One more job in Merseyside well done in my books!

Our Areas of Competence :

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your vehicle? We can solve any related problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Merseyside we have discovered an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly due to motorists not being totally sure the way to to make use of (pay attention: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And of course take care not to turn over the car - not even to maneuver it off the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will very likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important condition to handle in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank can potentially bring about idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly quickly.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank laying at the rear of your garden full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial premises in Merseyside for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can access it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Stoneycroft (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Merseyside Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump price) and refill your car or truck. They will be able to fix the usual issues that can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Stoneycroft - Stoneycroft Wrong Fuel in Car

A man rang us from his house on a street in Stoneycroft. He pronounced, "My car (a Jaguar) is not starting and is creating terrible sounds when I turn the key." He said that he put unleaded in his diesel car but then thought he would solve the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We arrived promptly, performed the fuel drain and filled it up again with untainted Diesel. He said he would be absolutely sure to explain to people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to have it drained right away.
