It was before 10 pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were relaxing discussing the recent footy, waiting around for the sixth job that day to come in. In due time we received the call from a girl on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Lighteach and put petrol in her diesel Lexus lease car. The unfortunate thing was very irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to fret, and also that things like this sadly can happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe position and, because it was only a few minutes off from us, we could arrive at the customer quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was living in.

Our Areas of Competence :

Do you or your drivers often misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any associated issues.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Shropshire we are finding a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by drivers being unsure of how to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it at once. And of course be careful not to crank the engine - not even to relocate it from the pump. If you did start the vehicle you would very likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious matter to take care of in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel can produce idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both circumstances very swiftly.

Remember that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel tank at the rear of your premises with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial premises in Shropshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in a garage, providing we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Lighteach (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill the car any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill your vehicle. They will be able to take care of the standard troubles which might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Lighteach - Lighteach Fuel Drain

A gentleman rang us from his home on a road in Lighteach. He explained, "My vehicle (a Toyota) is not starting up and is generating terrible noises when I turn the ignition." He said that he put petrol in his diesel car but then thought he would remedy the problem by putting further Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, did the drain and filled it up once again with clean Diesel. He told us after that he would be sure to advise people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to get it cleaned out promptly.
