It was just before 10 pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a dry evening, it had not stopped raining! James and me were resting there discussing the recent tennis rankings, waiting for the 6th fuel drain to arrive. In due time we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Pipe Gate and put petrol in a diesel Smart rental. She was pretty affected apparently, crying "I still can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to worry, plus that such things sadly happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a secure spot and, seeing as it was just a few miles off from the office, we could find the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could get back to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive home relaxed and not so worried. Yet another fuel drain in Shropshire well done in my mind!

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

AdBlue Contamination

All around Shropshire we have seen a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree stemming from people not knowing the right way to use it (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the car.

Now, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And of course don't turn over the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking area. If you have started the vehicle you would most likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant matter to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank may well result in idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations quite easily.

Keep in mind that any time the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank at the rear of your premises with old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and commercial properties in Shropshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps some drums in a garage, if we can reach it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Pipe Gate (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Shropshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your automobile in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill your vehicle. They will take care of any of the usual troubles that could go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.
