It was just after five pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a rainless evening, it had not stopped raining! Ray and I were sitting commenting on the rugby, at the ready for the next call of the day to arrive. Finally we received a phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Rugeley and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Volkswagen rental in error. The poor thing was fairly affected by the sounds of it, stating "I simply cannot believe I have messed up the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and that things like this sadly can happen. She was able to relocate the car to a safe position and, seeing as it was only a few miles off from the office, we could reach her right away. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the Travelodge she was living in. Although we got really wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off relaxed and not so apprehensive. One more job in Staffordshire done well in my books!

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Staffordshire we have noticed more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly a result of people not understanding the way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Call us in the event that you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can fix all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel can certainly result in idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both circumstances very simply.

You should know that so long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir placed at the rear of the garden with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in Staffordshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a storage shed, if we can reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Out of fuel in Rugeley (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Staffordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your automobile in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home.
