It was before five pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were relaxing there talking over the recent tennis results, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain of the day to arrive. Finally we got the call from a girl on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Ludlow and put the wrong fuel in her diesel MG hire car. She was pretty distressed apparently, stating "I cannot believe I've messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, also that such things regrettably can happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a secure position and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles from us, we could arrive at the woman rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could go home to the hotel she was staying at. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive home satisfied and less anxious. One more misfuel correction in Shropshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

All over Shropshire we have discovered progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially a result of drivers not being aware of the way to use it (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the car.

So, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to correct every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious condition to deal with in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel may trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both circumstances pretty expediently.

Keep in mind that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near to a vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir lying in the back of the garden containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business properties in Shropshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a garage, if we can get to it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Ludlow (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Shropshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) and refill your automobile. They will be able to take care of the typical troubles that might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Last week a customer contacted us soon after his Chevrolet died on a road in Ludlow.

We managed to take out the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in to the vehicle. "Thank you for your fast response, especially at 4 a.m., I appreciate it."
