It was around eight pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Dan and me were seated there discussing the footy results, waiting around for the sixth call for the day to come in. Before long we had a phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Hanchurch and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel BMW lease car in error. She was pretty agitated it seemed, crying "I still cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to fret, and also that these things regrettably often happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a protected position and, since it was just a few minutes off from where we were, we could get to the woman without delay. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could go home to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off contented and less anxious. A misfuel correction in Staffordshire done well in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

All over Staffordshire we are discovering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part stemming from drivers not being aware of how to work with it (important: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it asap. And definitely don't crank the motor - not even to move it into a parking area. If perhaps you have started the car you will most likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to take care of in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel will likely contribute to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases rather easily.

Remember though that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to an automobile parking spot we can gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir lying at the back of the garden with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial properties in Staffordshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even several containers in an outbuilding, providing we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Hanchurch (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Staffordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your vehicle any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) to refill your car or truck. They are also able to take care of any of the normal problems which can come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Hanchurch - Hanchurch Wrong Fuel Doctor

A man had stopped near a road in Hanchurch. His MG motor had stopped working and he had no idea what was wrong till he realised he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to get a fuel drain and that's when he said to us: "I can't believe that I did not know that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He said that he had got virtually no rest the night before and that could have been the reason why.
