Are you aware you will discover in excess of 150,000 examples of motorists filling their vehicles up using the incorrect kind of fuel each and every calendar year? In case you have done the same in Coton Hill, it's possible that we can be of assistance. Our service is SPA licensed, and provides national cover for any person who has inadvertently misfuelled.

It was close to ten pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased raining! James and me were resting talking about the weekend's sports results, waiting for the sixth fuel drain of the day to arrive. Inevitably we received the call from a girl on a business trip who had gone to the BP petrol station in Coton Hill and put petrol in her diesel Land Rover hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was very distressed it seemed, telling me "I can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to fret, plus that things like this unfortunately happen. She managed to move the car to a secure spot and, because it was only a few miles away from the office, we could find her rather quickly. The bad fuel was taken out so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home contented and less stressed. A misfuel correction in Shropshire well done in my opinion!

Our Services:

Below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Shropshire we have seen increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of motorists not knowing how to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it right away. And certainly take care not to crank the motor - not even to move it away from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will most likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to take care of in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank will bring about idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases quite swiftly.

Be aware however that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir laying at the rear of your garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and commercial premises in Shropshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even numerous containers in a shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Coton Hill (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Shropshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) to fill up the car. They will be able to take care of the typical troubles that may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Coton Hill - Coton Hill Wrong Fuel Assist

A customer called us from his residence on a road in Coton Hill. He said, "My vehicle (a Renault) is not running and is generating terrible sounds when I turn the ignition." He said that he put unleaded in his diesel car but then reckoned he would solve the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We showed up promptly, carried out the drain and filled him up once again with fresh Diesel. He told us after that he'd be certain to advise people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to have it drained immediately.
