Wrong Fuel Assist Milford - Milford Wrong Fuel Assist

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 on a bright Sunday and we were off to assist an old lady after she had put petrol in her diesel Vauxhall in Milford. I'd been told she drove away from the filling station forecourt and pulled up along a backwater road en route to visit her grandchildren. I punched her location straight into the TomTom and got there within an hour or so. I arrived at the destination and drained the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. While I was working she explained, "I am getting somewhat forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car working with diesel seeing that I had only acquired it a short while ago because my former car, which I'd owned for more than twenty years, eventually died on me". I got the drain completed and she gave me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. What a precious Shropshire lady!

Our Areas of Experience :

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Shropshire we have identified a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part caused by motorists not being totally sure the right way to work with it (important: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out right away. And obviously do not start up the car - not even to shift it away from the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you may likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to handle in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol is going to trigger idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both cases fairly easily.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir laying in the back of the garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and industrial premises in Shropshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Milford (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Shropshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill your car. They will be able to take care of any of the common issues which might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.


Fuel Rescue Milford - Milford Petrol in Diesel

Last friday a gentleman called us soon after his Nissan stopped on a street in Milford. He had inadvertently put petrol in his diesel car and drove so far as the street before needing to pull up. It was still in the early hours of the day and our technician, who stays nearby, arrived with him in approximately 20 minutes. We were able to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel once again in the vehicle. "Genuine kudos to you for your fast response, especially at 6 a.m., I truly appreciate it."

All of our technical engineers are qualified on the most recent automobiles and their fuel systems. We attend in excess of 6 thousand fuel drains each year in the UK (sure, there are that many people today who err - you are certainly not by yourself). Our call centres are open 24 hours a day and seven days a week. Our technical engineers are on duty any time you require them.


Recent Fuel Drains in Milford

Some examples:

We got a phone call from a customer whose Audi had ground to a halt on a street because he put the wrong fuel in it. "I got the pumps mixed up and put the wrong fuel in my vehicle in error. You guys came out and sorted out the matter when my car gave up." We drained the petrol from the diesel tank and flushed the fuel system thoroughly and the gentleman could proceed with his sheduled delivery.

Wrong Fuel Drain Milford - Milford Vehicle Misfuel

This really was what is called the night shift. It was around sunrise and noone was about. It had been fairly quiet so far, and Mark and I were loafing looking at a few old articles. That was a rare quiet hour in Shropshire. Actually it was indeed so quiet that the moment the phone finally rang it made me jump! The customer on the opposite end stated: "I have just ended my overnight shift and incredibly filled petrol in the Volvo in error". We got him to tell us just where he was and we set off, getting to him in Milford an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was taken out from the car and he thanked us profusely for showing up so promptly. While we were heading back to the office we found two young women on the side of the road who seemed to have a flat tyre. Obviously we stopped to help them change it, to their elation.

Vehicle Misfuel Milford - Milford Wrong Fuel Drain

A man contacted us from his place on a road in Milford. He said, "My vehicle (a Honda) is not running and is generating dreadful noises when I turn the key." He said that he put petrol in his diesel car but then reckoned he would remedy the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, did the drain and filled it up once again with fresh Diesel. He said after that he would be absolutely sure to educate people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to get it cleaned out right away.
