It was just before 10 pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not given up on raining! Paul and I were sitting there talking about the recent rugby, ready for the sixth fuel drain of the day to arrive. Finally we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Alkington and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Peugeot rental by mistake. She was pretty agitated apparently, telling me "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to worry, plus that such things unfortunately can happen. She managed to move the car to a protected space and, because it was no more than a few minutes away from us, we could reach the lady almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off relaxed and not so anxious. A fuel drain in Shropshire done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Competency :

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to proceed in the event that you have poured Adblue in your Diesel tank? AdBlue is a liquid that is made out of a mix of ionized water and urea.Adblue is actually disastrous to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly in cases where you have had the engine running with Adblue in your diesel tank. The moment the engine has been started the Adblue is going to be pushed into the fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, triggering catastrophic and expensive harm to your car's fuel system.

Whenever you get in this situation do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination company. Our technicians have got the practical expertise and experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a serious matter to take care of in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel may produce idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both situations very quickly.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container placed in the rear of your premises with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and business premises in Shropshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a garage, as long as we can get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Alkington (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Shropshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your automobile if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill up the car. They will be able to take care of any of the common issues which might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Alkington - Alkington Fuel Removal

I had a fantastic afternoon fishing during my holiday and was feeling contented with myself the following morning as I set out to aid a new family holidaying in Alkington. They conked out after inserting diesel into their Jaguar, and they were around an hour's travel away. I showed up at their location and smiled to myself as I heard to the gal telling her spouse off for actually being so silly. "Precisely how could you actually manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this situation goes on continuously in Shropshire and that it is nothing at all to get worried about, even so he still had his ear bent by his wife. Unlucky lad. Anyhow, I drained all the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the proper fuel. While they drove down the road I mouthed good-bye and wondered what my wife would do to me if I made the very same blunder... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!
