It was close to six pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Dan and I were relaxing commenting on the weekend's football results, prepared for the sixth call for the day to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Hartshill and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Citroen rental by mistake. She was somewhat distressed apparently, crying "I cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that things like this do happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a protected spot and, seeing that it was just a short distance off from our van, we were able to get to the lady without delay. The wrong fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive home satisfied and a lot less stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Staffordshire well done in my mind!

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

What to do in the event that you?ve poured Adblue into your Diesel fuel tank? Adblue is actually damaging to your car's fuel system, specifically in cases where you have had the engine running with Adblue in your tank. The moment the engine has been started up the Adblue will undoubtedly be pushed into your fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, leading to serious and expensive harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

If you find you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it asap. And absolutely don't crank the car - not even to shift it into a parking area. If you did start the vehicle you would in all probability need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a serious condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank is going to result in idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations very expediently.

Be aware however that if the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to an automobile parking spot we can access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container lying in the back of the garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Staffordshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in a shed, providing we can get to it, we can empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Hartshill (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Staffordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) to refill your vehicle. They are also able to handle any of the standard problems which may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
