It was close to six pm on a Friday and though we were assured a rainless day, it had not ceased raining! James and I were resting discussing the recent football rankings, ready for the sixth telephone call for the day to come in. Eventually we received the call from a girl on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Cross and filled petrol in a diesel Fiat rental car. The poor lady was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things unfortunately often happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a secure position and, as it was no more than a few miles from us, we were able to find the woman fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive off contented and not so worried. Another misfuel correction in Shropshire done well in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Shropshire we have found a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part caused by motorists being unsure of the right way to work with it (note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you end up in this situation do not panic! Contact us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the technical expertise and experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important condition to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol can potentially bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations rather swiftly.

Remember however that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container in the rear of the garden with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial properties in Shropshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in a storage shed, providing we are able to access it, we are able to empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Cross (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Shropshire Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill the car if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) to refill your automobile. They can also handle the common problems that can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Cross - Cross Wrong Fuel Drain

A customer called us from his home on a close in Cross. He said, "My car (a Citroen) is not starting and is generating terrible noises when I turn the ignition." He confessed that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then thought he would fix the problem by putting more Diesel on top. We got there quickly, performed the drain and filled it up once more with clean Diesel. He told us after that he'd be absolutely sure to inform people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to get it drained right away.
