It was about seven pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were resting going over the weekend's football, prepared for the seventh fuel drain of the day to arrive. In due time we had a phone call from a woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Town Head and filled petrol in a diesel Vauxhall lease car in error. She was rather affected by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol car that I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and that such things sadly can happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a secure spot and, seeing as it was just a short distance from where we were, we could arrive at her swiftly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home calm and a lot less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Staffordshire well done in my books!

Our Areas of Specialties: Services Our Company Offers:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Staffordshire we have discovered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a result of people not understanding the right way to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to one another on the car.

So, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out right away. And definitely don't start the car - not even to maneuver it from the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you may most likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be an important issue to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol will produce idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances quite easily.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking spot we can reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container sitting in the rear of your garden with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial properties in Staffordshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a garage, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Town Head (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Staffordshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) to refill your vehicle. They can also handle the common problems which can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
