Wrong Fuel in Car Hints - Hints Wrong Fuel Assist

What a quality night's sleep! It was 7:30 on a rainy Sunday and we were on the way to help an old sweetheart who put petrol in her diesel Chevrolet in Hints. She told us that she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and was stranded along a country lane on route to visit her family. I popped the location into the Satnav and got there within 60 minutes. I reached the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the car. As I was doing the drain she said to me, "I am getting quite absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel seeing that I had just purchased it a week back right after my former one, which I used for about 25 years, finally gave up the ghost". I finished the job and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a delightful Shropshire lady!

Services We Provide:

We can assist you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue Contamination

In Shropshire we are finding more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to motorists not understanding the way to use it (note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the car.

Now, what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Call us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily attend to all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel will likely contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both situations rather swiftly.

You should know however that any time the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a car or truck parking bay we can gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container at the rear of your garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and business properties in Shropshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a garage, provided that we can access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Hints (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a full Shropshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up your automobile if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill the car. They will deal with the typical issues which can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Obviously we arrived on the scene rapidly and purged the engine after flushing the unleaded from the diesel tank.

Wrong Fuel Hints - Hints Fuel Drain

A customer living in Hints phoned us as soon as she had tried to get her wrong fuelled automobile to her office. She had filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Kia and, like countless before her, assumed that she would be able to basically top up her vehicle with diesel and it would run no problem. The vehicle was chugging and then it cut out when she came to the entrance of her office. We quickly started on the fuel drain following her call and had it sorted within one hour whilst she was at the office. She came outside afterwards and thanked us saying, "I'm very glad you fixed my vehicle."

Wrong Fuel Drain Hints - Hints Wrong Fuel Drain

I'd had a perfect evening cycling on the weekend and felt pleased the following working day as I was on the way to assist a young couple on vacation in Hints. They stopped after filling diesel into their Chevrolet, and they were about half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their position and smirked to myself as I heard to the girl telling her partner off for actually being so confused. "Just how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this happens quite frequently in Shropshire and that it's in reality nothing to fret about, and yet he all the same had his ear bent by his wife. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some proper fuel. Watching while they drove off I mouthed hasta la vista and pondered on what my wife would do to me in the event that I made the very same error... I would never hear the end of it!
