The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Waters Upton (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Shropshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to refill the car. They will deal with the common problems which might accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious matter to deal with in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can certainly lead to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not remedied effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases fairly expediently.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and ineffective.

I finished the job and she gifted me a toffee and said thanks a lot. What a delightful Shropshire woman!
