It was before 6 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were sitting there going over the weekend's sports results, prepared for the 8th call of the day to come in. In due time we received a phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Eaton Mascott and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Chevrolet rental. The poor lady was pretty irritated it seemed, saying "I still can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that such things sadly do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a safe spot and, seeing that it was only a few minutes from the office, we were able to find the woman quickly. The bad fuel was taken out so she could get back to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off contented and less concerned. Another job in Shropshire done well in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Shropshire we have found more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to drivers not being aware of how to use it (pay attention: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In case you find yourself in this predicament don?t fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination service. Our experts have the practical know-how and experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank can cause idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both situations fairly quickly.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to parking bay we are able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank sitting in the back of your premises containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and business premises in Shropshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a shed, assuming that we can access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Eaton Mascott (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) to refill your automobile. They are also able to fix any of the most common issues which may come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Eaton Mascott - Eaton Mascott Fuel Rescue

A customer had stopped just near a road in Eaton Mascott. His Kia engine had ceased functioning and he had no clue what was awry until eventually he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel car. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and that is when he told us: "I cannot believe that I didn't realise that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He stated that he had gotten absolutely no rest the evening before and that must have been the reason.
