It was before 5 pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were resting talking over the footy, waiting around for the next job of the day to come in. In due time we received the phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Standon and put petrol in a diesel Fiat rental car. She was pretty troubled apparently, stating "I just can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol car I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to fret, also that these things sadly can happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing as it was only a short distance off from the office, we were able to arrive at the customer swiftly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was residing at.

Our Fields of Expertise:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue Contamination

How to handle it if you have put Adblue in a Diesel tank? Adblue is actually disastrous to your automobile's fuel system, especially in cases where you started the car with Adblue in the tank. The moment the engine has been switched on the Adblue is going to be pulled into your fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, causing serious and expensive damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

In the event that you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it at once. And absolutely never start the motor - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In case you have started the car you may in all probability have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant issue to deal with in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can certainly trigger idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with properly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both cases very quickly.

Remember however that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container laying in the rear of the garden with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial properties in Staffordshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even some drums in an outbuilding, if we can get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Out of fuel in Standon (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Staffordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill the car if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) to refill your vehicle. They are also able to handle any of the most common issues that might go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Standon - Standon Petrol in Diesel

I had enjoyed a fantastic day hiking during my off day and felt delighted with myself the following working day as I headed out to assist a new couple who were vacationing in Standon. They had stopped after adding diesel into their Porsche, and they were about an hour's drive away. I emerged at their location and smirked while I heard to the lady berating her partner for actually being so stupid. "How could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this kind of thing occurs on daily basis in Staffordshire and that it is absolutely nothing to worry about, nonetheless he all the same got his ear bent by his better half. Unlucky chap. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the proper fuel. While they drove off I waved hasta la vista and wondered what her indoors would do to me if ever I made the same blunder... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
