It was before seven pm on a Tuesday and while we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were relaxing there going over the weekend's rugby, at the ready for the 6th job that day to come in. Finally we had the call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Woodhouse Green and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Lexus rental by mistake. The poor lady was somewhat agitated apparently, telling me "I can not believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that these things sadly do happen. She was able to get the car into a protected spot and, because it was just a few miles from where we were, we could arrive at the customer swiftly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive away calm and not so anxious. Another misfuel correction in Staffordshire well done in my opinion!

Our Fields of Expertise: Services We Offer:

Listed here are the top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Staffordshire we have found increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a consequence of drivers being unsure of the right way to work with it (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As the product is mostly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you find yourself in this scenario do not panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our experts possess the specialised knowledge and experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant condition to address in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can produce idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both circumstances very easily.

Take note that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container at the rear of your premises with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial premises in Staffordshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can reach it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Woodhouse Green (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Staffordshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your car if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and refill your car or truck. They will be able to deal with the standard problems which could accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
