It was after five pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and me were relaxing there commenting on the tennis rankings, waiting for the 8th call to arrive. Finally we got a call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Hopton and filled petrol in a diesel aunt's Seat hire car by mistake. She was rather agitated it seemed, stating "I just can't believe I've messed up the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to worry, and also that things like this regrettably often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a safe space and, seeing as it was just a short distance from us, we were able to get to the woman quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the motel she was living in. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive home calm and less worried. Yet another job in Staffordshire done well in my opinion!

Boat Fuel Drains
If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.
Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a serious condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.
Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel is going to cause idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both situations very easily.
Keep in mind that any time the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.
Wrong Fuel in Car in ST18 Postcode - Hopton Misfueling
Just had a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 am on a rainy Monday and we were en route to help an old lovely lady after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel customised Land Rover Freelander II in Hopton. I'd been told she drove away from the petrol station and pulled up along a country road on the way to see her family. I plugged the location in the Satnav and got there inside 60 minutes. I arrived at the destination and drained the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing the work she explained, "I'm becoming rather forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car using diesel seeing that I had just got it a short while ago when my old one, which I had owned for over twenty five years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the job completed and she gifted me a toffee and said thank you. What a pleasant Staffordshire woman!

We a few weeks ago got a phone call about a driver who put the wrong fuel in his modern Fiat Ulysse in Hopton. He had ground to a halt on the street. "I couldn't believe how fast you guys were in having somebody out to help me when I put the wrong fuel in my. Thank you". It goes without saying that we arrived promptly and flushed the engine after draining the petrol from the diesel tank. The customer was over the moon by the time we finished and he went away happy.

This was most definitely what we call an unsociable time to be up. It was around 2am and almost noone was stirring. It was pretty dead until now, and John and I were loafing reading a couple of old papers. That was an unusual quiet time in Staffordshire. Actually it was that quiet that when my mobile eventually rang it made me jump! The person told me: "I only just completed my overnight shift and foolishly filled petrol in my super BMW X6 in error". We instructed him to tell us where exactly the car was and we left, getting to him in Hopton no more than 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the car. He said many thanks for coming out so rapidly. As we were going back to the depot we found two girls on the side of the street who appeared to have a puncture. So we got out to change it, much to their delight.
