It was before 6 pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a dry evening, it had not given up on raining! Paul and I were relaxing commenting on the weekend's golf rankings, waiting for the 6th job to arrive. Inevitably we got the call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Broad Oak and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel MINI rental. She was rather troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things regrettably do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a protected spot and, because it was no more than a few miles from where we were, we were able to reach the lady almost instantly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was lodging at. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off relaxed and less worried. Another misfuel correction in Shropshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Shropshire we are finding more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of drivers not understanding the right way to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it asap. And of course take care not to start up the engine - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you will probably need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious condition to take care of in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel may lead to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations pretty easily.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel container lying in the back of your premises containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and business properties in Shropshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even several drums in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Broad Oak (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Shropshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill the car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and refill your car. They can also fix any of the common issues that may go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.
