It was just before 9 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were resting commenting on the footy results, prepared for the seventh job to arrive. Eventually we got a call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Hughley and filled petrol in a diesel Mitsubishi lease car in error. She was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that such things do happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected position and, seeing that it was just a few miles off from our van, we could reach the lady right away. The bad fuel was taken out and she could get back to the hotel she was residing at. Although we got very drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off calm and much less concerned. One more misfuel correction in Shropshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

In Shropshire we have encountered an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent stemming from motorists being unsure of how to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it at once. And most definitely take care not to switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may very likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually an important matter to take care of in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel can potentially trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car parking spot we can access the storage and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel reservoir placed in the rear of your premises with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in Shropshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a garage, if we can access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Hughley (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill your car any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill your car or truck. They can also deal with the most common troubles that can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Hughley - Hughley Fuel Rescue

A person called us from Hughley saying he mistakenly pumped unleaded in to his diesel Nissan. "What a pain! How could I put unleaded in my diesel car!" It took our fuel drainer approximately 50 minutes to fully drain the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. He completely flushed the fuel lines, filter and pumps and put fresh fuel in the car. The customer was thrilled and it hadn't cost him dealer prices to have the job professionally done.
