We're only a telephone call away.

It was around 8 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! Mark and I were seated there discussing the recent tennis results, ready for the 6th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Finally we had the phone call from a woman on a business trip who had gone to the Shell filling station in Hilton and put petrol in a diesel Renault lease car in error. She was somewhat agitated apparently, crying "I simply cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that these things sadly happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a safe area and, since it was only a short distance off from our van, we were able to reach the lady quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was residing at. Although we got very soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home calm and less worried. Yet another fuel drain in Shropshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Shropshire we have noticed more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a consequence of motorists not understanding how to work with it (take note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? As the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you find yourself in this scenario do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination service. Our experts have the specialised know-how and experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important matter to deal with in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank will often result in idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both circumstances very easily.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car parking bay we will be able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your garden with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial premises in Shropshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some drums in a storage shed, if we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Hilton (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Shropshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your car. They can also take care of any of the typical troubles which might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Hilton - Hilton Fuel Removal

A gentleman called us from his house on a street in Hilton. He explained, "My vehicle (a Skoda) is not starting up and is producing awful noises when I turn the key." He confessed that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then reckoned he would remedy the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We arrived promptly, did the drain and filled him up once more with fresh Diesel. He said he would be absolutely sure to inform people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out right away.
