We're simply a telephone call away.

It was after 7 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless night, it had not stopped raining! Ray and me were resting going over the recent tennis results, at the ready for the 8th call that day to come in. In due time we got a phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Dawley Bank and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Citroen rental car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was pretty affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to worry, plus that things like this regrettably happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a secure spot and, seeing as it was only a few minutes from our van, we could get to the customer rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive home satisfied and much less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Shropshire done well in my books!

Do you or your employees often misfuel your car? We can fix any associated issues.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Shropshire we have seen progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly a result of motorists not understanding how to work with it (remember: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it right away. And obviously don't switch on the engine - not even to shift it into a parking area. In case you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be an important condition to take care of in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol will result in idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both cases quite expediently.

Remember though that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will probably be wholly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a vehicle parking bay we can access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel container at the rear of your premises containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and business properties in Shropshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even several drums in a shed, provided that we can reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Dawley Bank (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Shropshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill the car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to refill your car. They will fix any of the usual issues which might go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Dawley Bank - Dawley Bank Wrong Fuel Doctor

A man had broken down just off a street in Dawley Bank. His SEAT engine had ceased operating and he had no idea what was faulty till he noticed he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He called us to get a fuel drain and that is when he explained to us: "I can't believe that I did not realise that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He stated that he had got no sleep the night before and that must have been the key reason why.
