It was after ten pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Mark and I were resting there going over the weekend's golf, prepared for the sixth telephone call that day to come in. Finally we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Talke and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel white Ford Taurus hire car. The poor thing was quite agitated it seemed, stating "I can not believe I've wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to fret, plus that these things sadly often happen. She was able to move the car into a safe position and, as it was no more than a short distance from the office, we could arrive at the woman fairly quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the motel she was residing in. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away satisfied and much less apprehensive. A misfuel correction in Staffordshire well done in my opinion!

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container sitting at the rear of your garden containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and commercial properties in Staffordshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in a garage, as long as we can reach it, we can empty it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious condition to handle in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can easily trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both situations rather easily.

Take note that any time the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.

If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
