It was close to six pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and me were sitting talking over the weekend's footy, at the ready for the 6th telephone call of the day to arrive. Finally we had the phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Hinton and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Kia lease car. The poor thing was quite troubled it seemed, saying "I still cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to fret, also that these things sadly do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance away from the office, we were able to find the lady right away. The wrong fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive home relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. Yet another job in Shropshire done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Expertise: Services We Offer:

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

AdBlue Contamination

What to do if you have put Adblue into your Diesel tank? AdBlue is a solution composed of a mix of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%).Adblue can be damaging to your car's fuel system, particularly if you have had the engine running with Adblue in the tank. Once the engine has been switched on the Adblue will undoubtedly be injected into the fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, resulting in devastating and costly harm to your automobile's fuel system.

In case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And most certainly don't turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking spot. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important situation to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel is likely to result in idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with fully, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both situations rather easily.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container laying at the back of your garden full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial premises in Shropshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Hinton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your automobile if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) and refill your automobile. They can also fix the most common troubles which can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
