It was around 10 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and me were relaxing going over the weekend's football rankings, waiting around for the next fuel drain that day to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a girl on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Jackfield and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel MINI hire car by mistake. The poor lady was quite distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe I have ruined the car! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to worry, and that things like this regrettably do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a secure space and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance off from us, we were able to arrive at the customer quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could go home to the motel she was lodging at. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off contented and less apprehensive. A misfuel correction in Shropshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Shropshire we are finding increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of motorists being unsure of the way to use it (be aware: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the car.

So, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it right away. And definitely be careful not to crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. In case you did start the vehicle you may probably have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious issue to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel will often result in idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both circumstances quite easily.

Remember that any time the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a motor vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank placed in the rear of the garden containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and business premises in Shropshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Jackfield (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Shropshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to fill the car. They can also deal with any of the usual problems that could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.
