It was around 8 pm on a Tuesday and while we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and me were relaxing there commenting on the weekend's golf rankings, prepared for the sixth call of the day to come in. In due time we got a phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Overmoor and put the wrong fuel in a diesel metallic blue Mercedes Sprinter 2500 hire car. The unfortunate thing was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe I have messed up the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that such things regrettably happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a safe position and, as it was just a short distance off from us, we were able to find the lady without delay. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive home relaxed and much less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Staffordshire done well in my mind!

Boat Fuel Drains
If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.
Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue inside your fuel is going to trigger idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both cases pretty quickly.
Be aware that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

I am not necessarily very hot for doing the job on weekends, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I'd just come away from the family following a magnificent lunch made for me by the better half, and I was en route to help a fellow after he had put the incorrect fuel in his blue Lexus IS. He was stationed in Overmoor thus I arrived on scene quickly. As I drove up right behind the vehicle and started work he said to me "Thank the Almighty! I stupidly had my mind on other stuff and didn't ascertain I'd put diesel in my petrol car. Have I inflicted any problems by simply running it?" I explained that truth be told there shouldn't be any kind of damage and also I'd personally drain the fuel at once for him. It goes without saying that I removed the contaminated fuel from the car and filled up with the appropriate fuel, and thus yet another content customer was able to continue on his ride without any hassle. He did not stop saying thanks to me, and that is exactly what makes earning a living on weekends in Staffordshire just that small bit easier for me!
