It was before 5 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Dan and I were resting talking about the recent rugby rankings, waiting around for the 8th job to arrive. Finally we got a call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the BP petrol station in Cantlop and filled petrol in a diesel Vauxhall hire car. She was rather affected apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that these things often happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a secure spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes away from our van, we were able to find the lady without delay. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact that we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive off contented and less apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in Shropshire done well in my books!

We are all set to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Shropshire we have discovered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent thanks to people being unsure of how to work with it (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car? As the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out at once. And most certainly do not start up the car - not even to shift it into a parking spot. In cases where you did start the car you will probably need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant matter to take care of in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel may bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of properly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases quite simply.

Remember that any time the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to parking spot we should be able to reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel reservoir at the rear of the garden with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and business properties in Shropshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a shed, providing we can reach it, we can empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Cantlop (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete Shropshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your automobile in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) and fill your car. They will deal with any of the usual problems which may go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Cantlop - Cantlop Wrong Fuel Drain

A motorist had stopped just off a road in Cantlop. His Skoda engine had stopped functioning and he'd no idea what was faulty until eventually he realised he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and that is when he informed us: "I can not believe that I didn't know that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He claimed that he had got virtually no rest the evening before and that could have been the reason.
