Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several containers in a storage shed, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually an important situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both situations fairly swiftly.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

I had enjoyed a terrific day golfing on my off day and was feeling delighted the following morning as I set out to help a new couple vacationing in Nether Stowe. They had conked out after filling petrol into their metallic silver Subaru Outback, and they were approximately half an hour's travel away. I turned up at their car and smiled as I listened to the woman telling her husband off for being so stupid. "Exactly how could you actually be able to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this comes to pass on a regular basis in Staffordshire and that it's absolutely nothing to stress about, even so he all the same got his ear bent by his wife. Unlucky chap. Anyhow, I drained the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some right fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved good bye and considered what my wife would say to me if perhaps I made the exact same mistake... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!
