It was close to 9 pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were resting going over the recent footy, at the ready for the 6th job that day to arrive. Inevitably we received a call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Paddolgreen and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Vauxhall rental car. The poor thing was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, also that these things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a secure space and, because it was just a short distance off from where we were, we could find her almost instantly. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home satisfied and much less stressed. Another misfuel correction in Shropshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Shropshire we are identifying more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to drivers being unsure of the way to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly never crank the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off the pump. If you did start the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely an important matter to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel will often contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both cases rather simply.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will probably be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir sitting in the back of the garden with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial premises in Shropshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even several containers in a storage shed, if we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Paddolgreen (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive Shropshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) and fill your car. They will be able to handle the normal problems that might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
