It was after six pm on a Monday and while we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not ceased pouring! Paul and I were relaxing there talking over the tennis results, ready for the 6th call for the day to come in. Before long we had a phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Moddershall and put petrol in her diesel Porsche rental by mistake. The unfortunate thing was rather irritated it seemed, crying "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to fret, also that these things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to get the car to a safe area and, as it was just a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to reach the lady fairly quickly.

Services We Deliver:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Staffordshire we have noticed a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to drivers not knowing the way to to make use of (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it immediately. And most certainly take care not to start up the car - not even to maneuver it off the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you will very likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant matter to address in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your fuel is going to result in idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out fully, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases quite quickly.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Got a fuel tank placed at the rear of the garden containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial premises in Staffordshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in a garage, provided that we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of fuel in Moddershall (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a comprehensive Staffordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill the car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home.

Fuel Drain Moddershall - Moddershall Wrong Fuel Assist

I had a terrific day hiking on my holiday and felt contented with myself the following working day as I set off to assist a young couple on holiday in Moddershall. They pulled over after filling the wrong fuel in their Mercedes, and they were close to an hour away. I emerged at their car and smirked while I listened to the girl telling her man off for actually being so stupid. "How could you possibly manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to explain that this takes place everyday in Staffordshire and that it's absolutely nothing to be anxious about, and yet he still got an earful. Unfortunate chap. Anyway, I removed the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some proper fuel. As they drove away I shouted bon voyage and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I did the same thing... I'd never live it down!
