It was around six pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Dan and I were relaxing discussing the weekend's golf rankings, ready for the next job of the day to come in. Finally we received the phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Whitecross and put petrol in her diesel metallic green BMW 545 hire car in error. She was rather irritated it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that such things unfortunately do happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a secure spot and, seeing as it was only a short distance away from the office, we could reach the woman almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the motel she was staying at.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir lying at the back of your premises with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in Staffordshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to access it, we can drain it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant condition to address in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank will likely lead to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both situations pretty expediently.

Remember that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.
