Our Areas of Competence :

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Shropshire we are discovering increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to motorists not being aware of how to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at once. And most definitely never turn over the engine - not even to shift it to a parking bay. If you did start the car you will almost certainly need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can certainly bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both situations rather quickly.

Be aware that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will probably be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to an automobile parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container laying in the rear of the garden with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and industrial properties in Shropshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even a number of containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Marton (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up the car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill the car. They will be able to take care of any of the typical problems which can go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Marton - Marton Wrong Fuel Drain

A customer had conked out off a road in Marton. His Kia engine had ceased functioning and he'd no clue what was the problem until he realised he put unleaded in his diesel car. He called us to get a fuel drain and that is when he told us: "I cannot believe that I didn't detect that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had gotten zero sleep the night before and that must have been the reason.
