It was about 7 pm on a Friday and although we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Paul and I were resting there talking over the recent football rankings, ready for the 8th telephone call of the day to arrive. Finally we received the call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Leaton and put petrol in her diesel Porsche lease car by mistake. She was fairly troubled apparently, telling me "I can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to fret, plus that things like this unfortunately often happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a protected spot and, because it was just a few minutes from the office, we could arrive at the woman quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive away contented and a lot less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Shropshire done well in my opinion!

Services We Offer:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Shropshire we are identifying more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of motorists not knowing the right way to to make use of (take note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to one another on the car.

Well, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can fix every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important issue to address in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel can potentially trigger idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances very quickly.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir placed in the back of the garden with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Shropshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a shed, if we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Leaton (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) and fill your vehicle. They can also deal with the typical troubles which might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Leaton - Leaton Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had a fantastic day hiking during my day off and felt pleased with myself the following day as I set off to help a new couple holidaying in Leaton. They pulled over after adding diesel into their MG, and they were close to half an hour's drive away. I showed up at their car and smiled to myself while I heard to the gal telling her husband off for being so confused. "Just how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I attempted to tell her that this kind of thing takes place on daily basis in Shropshire and that it's in reality absolutely nothing to be anxious about, nonetheless he all the same got an earful by his better half. Poor lad. Anyway, I removed all of the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some right fuel. While watching them drive away I waved good-bye and thought about what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I made the very same mistake... I'd never ever live it down!
