It was around 8 pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Mark and me were resting there commenting on the recent football, waiting for the 6th telephone call of the day to come in. Eventually we received the phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Longsdon and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Smart hire car in error. The unfortunate lady was rather distressed apparently, crying "I just can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to worry, also that things like this can happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe spot and, seeing as it was only a short distance from where we were, we could arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive off relaxed and less stressed. A misfuel correction in Staffordshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Staffordshire we are discovering progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly stemming from people not knowing the right way to use it (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And most certainly never crank the car - not even to move it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the car you may likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol will likely cause idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both circumstances rather expediently.

Bear in mind that if the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir placed in the rear of your premises containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and business properties in Staffordshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Longsdon (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Staffordshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up the car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) to fill your automobile. They will deal with any of the common problems that might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Longsdon - Longsdon Fuel Drain

I appreciated a terrific day golfing on my afternoon off and was feeling contented the following working day as I set off to assist a new couple away in Longsdon. They had stopped after filling diesel in their Kia, and were approximately half an hour's drive away. I showed up at their location and smirked while I listened to the gal telling off her husband for actually being so confused. "How could you actually find a way to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this problem goes on on daily basis in Staffordshire and that it's actually nothing at all to be concerned about, but he still had an earful. Poor chap. Anyhow, I extracted all the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive away I mouthed good-bye and wondered what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I made the exact same mistake... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!
