It was just before eight pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not ceased raining! Ryan and I were relaxing there going over the football rankings, prepared for the 6th fuel drain that day to arrive. In due time we received the phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Glazeley and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Dacia lease car in error. She was somewhat irritated it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to worry, also that such things can happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure position and, as it was only a short distance away from us, we could find the customer rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she could go home to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away contented and a lot less stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Shropshire done well in my mind!

Our Fields of Specialties:

Listed below are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Shropshire we have discovered progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of drivers being unsure of the right way to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the car.

Well, what's the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained immediately. And absolutely never start up the motor - not even to relocate it from the pump. If you did start the car you may likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important matter to deal with in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank can cause idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both circumstances rather simply.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container sitting at the rear of your premises with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and commercial premises in Shropshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even some containers in a garage, assuming that we can access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Glazeley (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your automobile any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up the car. They can also deal with any of the normal problems that may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
