It was about 8 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on raining!

Finally we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Hartlebury and filled petrol in a diesel Fiat hire car in error. She was pretty irritated it seemed, saying "I still cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!"

Our Fields of Specialties: Services We Offer:

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

In Shropshire we are identifying a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially due to motorists not understanding the way to work with it (remember: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will handle all types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to take care of in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can easily contribute to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both situations pretty quickly.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a car parking bay we can reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank lying at the back of your garden full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and commercial properties in Shropshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps several drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Hartlebury (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) to fill up your car or truck. They are also able to deal with the normal problems which might accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Hartlebury - Hartlebury Wrong Fuel Drain

I had enjoyed a wonderful evening hiking on the weekend and felt cheerful the following morning as I headed out to aid a young couple who were vacationing in Hartlebury. They'd stopped after putting the wrong fuel in their Renault, and the car was approximately an hour away. I turned up at their car and laughed to myself while I listened to the wife telling her hubby off for actually being so stupid. "Exactly how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this occurs everyday in Shropshire and that it's absolutely nothing to get worried about, nevertheless he yet still got an ear bashing. Unlucky chap. Anyway, I removed the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. While they drove off I shouted good bye and pondered on what her indoors would ask me if ever I made the very same mistake... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!
