Fuel Removal Basford - Basford Wrong Fuel Drain

What a good night's sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a warm Saturday and we were on my way to assist an elder woman who put petrol in her diesel Renault in Basford. She informed us that she had left the filling station and pulled up in a backwater road on route to visit her godchildren. I got the location punched in the TomTom and arrived in less than an hour. I reached the destination and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the car. Whilst I was doing it she told me, "I'm getting rather forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car needing diesel because I'd only acquired it a few days back right after my old one, which I'd had for more than twenty years, eventually gave up the ghost". I completed the drain and she gave me a toffee and said thank you. Such a lovely Staffordshire lady!

Services We Offer:

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Staffordshire we have encountered a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly due to motorists not understanding how to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And definitely don't crank the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking area. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will very likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant issue to handle in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel is going to produce idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both circumstances very swiftly.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be completely wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank sitting at the rear of the garden containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and business properties in Staffordshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Wrong Fuel Drain Basford - Basford Wrong Fuel

This was certainly the night shift. It was roughly 3 in the morning and almost noone was stirring. It had become pretty dead thus far, and Ray and I were relaxing browsing a few old newspapers. It was an unusual quiet moment in Staffordshire. Actually it was that quiet that the instant the phone eventually rang it made me jump! The person stated: "I have finished my overnight shift and foolishly put petrol in a diesel Kia". We got him to tell us just where the vehicle was located and we set off, arriving in Basford an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was taken out from the motor. He said many thanks for getting there so fast. As we were heading back to the depot we found two young ladies on the edge of the road who seemed like they had a puncture. So we stopped to change it, much to their elation.

Fuel Drain Basford - Basford Petrol in Diesel

A couple weeks ago a young man contacted us when his Suzuki stopped working in the middle of a road in Basford. He had by mistake put petrol in his diesel motor and got as far as the road before being forced to stop. It was actually early in the day and our fuel drainer, who lives close by, arrived with him in about 20 minutes. We were able to drain the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel once again into the vehicle. "Thank you for your immediate response, particularly at 3 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
