It was about 8 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless night, it had not stopped raining! James and I were sitting there going over the weekend's sports, ready for the seventh job for the day to arrive. Before long we got the call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Gallows Green and put petrol in her diesel Nissan hire car in error. The poor lady was very irritated apparently, crying "I still can't believe I have destroyed the car! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that such things sadly can happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a protected spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles from where we were, we could find the customer right away. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive off relaxed and less concerned. Another job in Staffordshire well done in my books!

Do you or your drivers frequently misfuel your car? We can solve any connected problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Staffordshire we have noticed progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to drivers being unsure of how to to make use of (pay attention: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And certainly take care not to switch on the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you will probably need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to address in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel can trigger idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both situations fairly easily.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to an automobile parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container in the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial properties in Staffordshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even a number of drums in an outbuilding, providing we can reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Out of fuel in Gallows Green (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Staffordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up the car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home.
