It was close to five pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and me were relaxing there talking over the weekend's golf, at the ready for the next call to arrive. Inevitably we had the call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Linley and put petrol in a diesel Audi rental car in error. She was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to worry, also that such things unfortunately often happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a safe position and, seeing as it was only a few miles from where we were, we could find the customer right away. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the hotel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off contented and a lot less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Shropshire done well in my mind!

Wrong Fuel SoS' experienced technical engineers are on call 24 hours a day. Just call our rapid response number and they will come out, drain the contaminated fuel and get you rapidly back on the road.

We can assist you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Shropshire we are identifying a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from motorists not knowing how to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained asap. And obviously be careful not to crank the motor - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In the event that you have started the car you would likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious situation to deal with in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel can contribute to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both circumstances very expediently.

Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will probably be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir lying in the back of the garden full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Shropshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even some containers in an outbuilding, providing we can reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Linley (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill the car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) and fill your car or truck. They can also take care of the typical troubles that could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Linley - Linley Wrong Fuel Doctor

A man called us from his residence on a street in Linley. He explained, "My car (a Dacia) is not running and is producing awful sounds when I turn the ignition." He confessed that he had put unleaded in his diesel car but then reckoned he would resolve the issue by putting more Diesel on top. We arrived promptly, carried out the drain and filled it up once again with clean Diesel. He told us that he would be absolutely sure to tell people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to get it drained immediately.
