It was around 7 pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! James and me were relaxing talking about the golf rankings, waiting for the seventh telephone call to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Chirbury and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Skoda lease car. She was quite agitated apparently, crying "I cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to fret, plus that such things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a protected position and, as it was no more than a few minutes off from where we were, we could find the customer swiftly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could get back to the hotel she was living at. Although we got very soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home calm and much less concerned. One more fuel drain in Shropshire done well in my books!

Our Services:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Shropshire we have encountered increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly thanks to people not being totally sure the right way to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the car.

Now, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Whenever you find yourself in this position don?t panic! Contact us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination service. Our engineers have the technical knowledge and experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to address in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel may well bring about idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both situations fairly simply.

Keep in mind that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a vehicle parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container laying in the rear of your garden with aged, 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 recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a garage, providing we can access it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Chirbury (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full Shropshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to refill the car. They will handle the typical problems that could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
