It was around 9 pm on a Friday and while we were promised a rainless evening, it had not given up on raining! Paul and me were sitting commenting on the rugby, prepared for the sixth job of the day to come in. Inevitably we had the phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Shawbury and put the wrong fuel in a diesel MG rental. The poor thing was quite troubled it seemed, telling me "I just can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol car I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!"

Services We Offer:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Shropshire we have encountered more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent caused by drivers being unsure of the way to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it asap. And of course be careful not to start the engine - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you will most likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important situation to deal with in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel is likely to cause idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both circumstances pretty quickly.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a car parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank laying in the back of the garden containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial premises in Shropshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even some drums in a shed, as long as we can reach it, we can empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Shawbury (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill the car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill your car. They will be able to handle any of the typical issues that can go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.


Fuel Drain Shawbury - Shawbury Vehicle Misfuel

I had a fantastic day fishing on my afternoon off and felt delighted the next morning as I was en route to assist a new family on holiday in Shawbury. They pulled over after adding petrol in their BMW, and they were close to an hour away. I showed up at their position and laughed to myself while I listened to the lady telling off her partner for actually being so foolish. "Precisely how could you possibly manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to explain that this problem takes place constantly in Shropshire and that it's absolutely nothing to be concerned about, and yet he all the same had an ear bashing. Unfortunate boy. Anyhow, I extracted the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some proper fuel. Watching as they drove away I mouthed good-bye and considered what my missus would do to me if perhaps I made the same blunder... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

We got a phone call from a individual whose MINI had ground to a halt on a road because he put the wrong fuel in it. "I mixed up the pumps and put petrol instead of diesel in my vehicle by mistake. WrongFuelSOS.com arrived and sorted out the matter right after my car quit." We drained the unleaded from the diesel tank and flushed the system meticulously and the gentleman was able to carry on with his sheduled delivery.

Wrong Fuel Drain Shawbury - Shawbury Fuel Rescue

A woman driving in Shawbury phoned us as soon as she had tried to get her misfueled automobile to the office. She had put unleaded in her diesel Peugeot and, like plenty before her, thought that she could just fill the tank with diesel and it'd be okay. The engine was spluttering and then it died when she got to the entrance of her work. We quickly started on the fuel drain after she called and had it repaired inside 60 minutes whilst she was at work. She came out later on and thanked us stating, "I'm extremely happy you repaired my vehicle."
