Do you or your drivers often misfuel your vehicle? We can solve any related issues.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Staffordshire we have encountered increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of drivers being unsure of the way to use it (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the car.

So, what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it asap. And of course don't switch on the engine - not even to move it into a parking bay. In cases where you have started the car you would probably need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel will likely trigger idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both situations rather quickly.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to an automobile parking bay we can gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank placed at the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and industrial properties in Staffordshire to take care of removing 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 an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some containers in a garage, assuming that we can access it, we are able to drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Haughton (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Staffordshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill your automobile any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) and refill the car. They will deal with any of the common troubles that can come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Haughton - Haughton Fuel Rescue

A man had broken down near a road in Haughton. His Citroen engine had ceased functioning and he had no idea what was faulty until he realised he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I can't believe that I did not comprehend that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had got no rest the night before and that could have been why.
