It was close to 7 pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Paul and I were sitting there discussing the recent football results, ready for the 8th telephone call to come in. In due time we received a phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Corfton Bache and put petrol in a diesel Toyota hire car in error. She was pretty affected by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to fret, and also that things like this sadly happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a secure spot and, because it was only a few minutes away from the office, we could arrive at the woman rather quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off satisfied and less stressed. Yet another job in Shropshire well done in my books!

Our Areas of Competency :

Here are the top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Shropshire we have identified increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially a result of people not being aware of the way to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely be careful not to turn over the engine - not even to move it into a parking place. In case you have started the car you will probably have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to address in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel can cause idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both circumstances quite swiftly.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank laying in the rear of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and industrial premises in Shropshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a storage shed, if we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Corfton Bache (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill the car any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) and fill your car. They will be able to fix any of the usual problems which may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Corfton Bache - Corfton Bache Wrong Fuel

A man contacted us from his home on a close in Corfton Bache. He explained, "My car (a Dacia) is not starting up and is making dreadful sounds when I turn the key." He said that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car however thought he would solve the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, carried out the fuel drain and filled it up again with untainted Diesel. He said he'd be absolutely sure to advise people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to have it drained right away.
