It was close to 7 pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ryan and I were resting there talking over the recent rugby rankings, ready for the 6th telephone call for the day to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Hallon and filled petrol in a diesel Land Rover rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was very troubled it seemed, crying "I cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and that these things sadly happen. She was able to relocate the car to a protected space and, because it was only a few miles away from our van, we were able to arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off calm and less stressed. A fuel drain in Shropshire well done in my opinion!

Our Services:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Shropshire we have seen progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from drivers not being totally sure the way to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And obviously take care not to turn over the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking area. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would probably need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely an important matter to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases very swiftly.

Bear in mind however that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank laying in the back of the garden with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial premises in Shropshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a garage, if we can get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Hallon (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Shropshire Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and fill your automobile. They can also handle the most common issues which might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Hallon - Hallon Vehicle Misfuel

I had appreciated a perfect afternoon golfing on my off day and was feeling delighted with myself the next working day as I set out to help a young family who were vacationing in Hallon. They conked out after filling petrol in their Skoda, and the car was approximately an hour away. I showed up at their car and smirked to myself while I listened to the lady telling her partner off for actually being so foolish. "How could you even manage to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to tell her that this situation takes place continuously in Shropshire and that it is nothing to fret about, but he yet still had an ear bashing by his missus. Unfortunate chap. Anyways, I drained out all the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching as they drove away I waved goodbye and pondered on what my missus would say to me if ever I did the same thing... I'd personally never hear the end of it!
