It was about seven pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and I were sitting talking about the weekend's tennis, ready for the sixth job of the day to come in. Eventually we had the call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Ryebank and put petrol in a diesel Volkswagen rental car. The poor thing was very distressed apparently, telling me "I cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to be concerned, also that things like this sadly often happen. She managed to move the car into a protected space and, because it was only a short distance away from the office, we were able to get to the woman quickly. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to get back to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off calm and less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Shropshire well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Expertise:

Here are the top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to proceed in case you may have put Adblue into your Diesel fuel tank? Adblue can be harmful to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly any time you started the car with Adblue in the diesel tank. As soon as the engine has been switched on the Adblue will likely be injected into your fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, leading to serious and expensive harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

If you put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And of course do not turn over the motor - not even to shift it away from the pump. In case you did start the car you will very likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in fuel will often contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both situations pretty swiftly.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car or truck parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel tank sitting in the rear of your garden with aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and business premises in Shropshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a shed, provided that we can access it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Ryebank (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete Shropshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up your automobile in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to refill your car. They can also take care of any of the most common issues which might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
