It was close to six pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and me were resting there discussing the weekend's footy rankings, at the ready for the 8th telephone call of the day to arrive. In due time we got a call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Triangle and filled petrol in a diesel Smart rental. The unfortunate thing was pretty agitated it seemed, crying "I still can't believe I have destroyed the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to fret, plus that things like this regrettably happen. She managed to move the car into a secure spot and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance from our van, we could find her swiftly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could return to the Travelodge she was staying in. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home contented and less stressed.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Staffordshire we are finding increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a result of motorists not being aware of the right way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the car.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And definitely do not start up the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking spot. In case you did start the vehicle you would likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank will often cause idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both situations quite simply.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to an automobile parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel container laying in the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and business premises in Staffordshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in an outbuilding, if we can reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Triangle (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full Staffordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your car any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill up your car or truck. They can also fix the standard troubles that may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Triangle - Triangle Fuel Rescue

A customer phoned us from his house on a street in Triangle. He exclaimed, "My car (a MINI) is not running and is generating terrible sounds when I turn the key." He admitted that he put petrol in his diesel vehicle however thought he would fix the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We showed up promptly, did the drain and filled him up again with fresh Diesel. He said he would be absolutely sure to advise people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to have it drained right away.
