Wrong Fuel in Car Longdon on Tern - Longdon on Tern Fuel Removal

Ahhh, that was a quality night of sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a warm Monday and I was en route to help an old lady after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel Kia in Longdon on Tern. She informed us that she had driven away from the petrol station and stranded on a backwater road along the way to see her family. I got her location punched into the Satnav and was on-scene in less than an hour. I turned up at the location and extracted the wrong fuel out of the car. While I was doing the drain she explained, "Now I'm getting rather forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel seeing that I had only bought it a short while ago when my previous one, which I'd used for more than twenty five years, eventually died on me". I got the drain done and she offered me a peppermint and said thanks. Such a precious Shropshire woman!

Petrol in Diesel Longdon on Tern - Longdon on Tern Wrong Fuel

A customer contacted us from his house on a street in Longdon on Tern. He said, "My car (a Chevrolet) is not starting and is producing awful noises when I turn the ignition." He admitted that he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would fix the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We got there promptly, did the drain and filled it up again with untainted Diesel. He told us after that he would be certain to tell people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to get it drained promptly.

Our Services:

Helping you get back on the road is our main goal.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Shropshire we have discovered increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of drivers being unsure of the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it at once. And most definitely take care not to crank the motor - not even to shift it to a parking bay. Assuming you did start the car you will in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank can easily contribute to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both circumstances fairly quickly.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank laying at the rear of your premises with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and business premises in Shropshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several drums in a shed, if we are able to access it, we can empty it for you.

Now I'm not actually too hot for running on weekends, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I had just departed the family after a wonderful roast prepared for me by the missus, and I was on the way to deal with a gentleman who had put the incorrect petrol in his Jaguar. He was stationed in Longdon on Tern and so I was with him rapidly. As I drove up behind the vehicle and started work he said to me "Praise the Lord! I stupidly had my attention on something else and didn't perceive I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I caused harm by simply driving it?" I explained that generally there should not be damage and that I would personally remove the wrong fuel right away for him. Needless to say I drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and filled it with some correct fuel, and so another content customer was able to continue his travelling without the bother. He could hardly stop thanking me, and this is actually what tends to make operating on weekends in Shropshire just a tiny bit better for me!

Petrol in Diesel Longdon on Tern - Longdon on Tern Wrong Fuel Drain

This was most definitely an unsociable hour to be awake. It was roughly 3:30 in the morning and almost noone was about. It was quite dead so far, and Brian and I were loafing looking at a couple of old articles. This was an uncommon quiet moment in Shropshire. It was that tranquil that the instant my mobile rang it made me start! The person told me: "I have only just ended my evening shift and foolishly put petrol in the diesel Dacia in error". I told him to inform us just where he was and we headed out, reaching him in Longdon on Tern less than half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was removed from the car. He said many thanks for arriving so fast. As we were heading back home we found two women at the edge of the road who appeared to have a puncture. As a result we pulled over to help them change it, much to their delight.
