This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Shropshire we have seen an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially thanks to motorists not being totally sure how to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the car.

So, what's the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it immediately. And certainly never start the motor - not even to move it into a parking place. If you have started the vehicle you would probably have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important condition to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank will often result in idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations rather quickly.

Take note that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car or truck parking spot we can reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your premises with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and business properties in Shropshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even several containers in a storage shed, provided that we can access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Shifnal (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill the car if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill the car. They can also deal with the common issues which can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Shifnal - Shifnal Fuel Rescue

A gentleman rang us from his house on a road in Shifnal. He explained, "My vehicle (a Kia) is not running and is creating awful sounds when I turn the ignition." He admitted that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then believed he would fix the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, carried out the fuel drain and filled it up once again with fresh Diesel. He told us after that he would be sure to explain to people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to get it cleaned out immediately.
