It was before eight pm on a Friday and although we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and me were resting discussing the weekend's tennis rankings, at the ready for the 6th call of the day to come in. Eventually we received a call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Little Wytheford and filled petrol in her diesel Vauxhall rental in error. The poor lady was rather distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I simply can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to worry, and that these things unfortunately happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a safe spot and, since it was just a few minutes from the office, we were able to reach the woman fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the motel she was staying at. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off calm and not so anxious. A misfuel correction in Shropshire done well in my books!

Services We Offer:

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Shropshire we are noticing increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly due to drivers not being totally sure how to to make use of (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained right away. And definitely do not turn over the vehicle - not even to relocate it off the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a serious situation to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel is likely to result in idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both cases quite easily.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel reservoir lying at the back of your premises full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and business properties in Shropshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even numerous containers in an outbuilding, if we can get to it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Little Wytheford (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a comprehensive Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your car any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill the car. They will deal with the most common troubles that might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
