It was before ten pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring! Mark and I were resting talking about the football, waiting around for the seventh telephone call that day to come in. Eventually we received the phone call from a woman on a business trip who had gone to the BP petrol station in Stanlow and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Audi rental. The poor thing was quite affected apparently, saying "I still can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to worry, plus that such things do happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a protected position and, since it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we could arrive at the woman fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the motel she was residing at. Although we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home calm and a lot less anxious. A misfuel correction in Shropshire done well in my opinion!

We are all set to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Shropshire we have seen progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by people not being totally sure the right way to use it (please note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Phone us in the event that you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily take care of every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel will likely result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations pretty expediently.

You should know however that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to parking bay we should be able to reach the storage and remove the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir at the rear of your premises with aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many domestic and commercial premises in Shropshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a garage, as long as we can access it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Stanlow (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up the car if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) and fill up the car. They are also able to handle the normal problems that could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Stanlow - Stanlow Fuel Removal

I had a fantastic evening hiking during my holiday and was feeling satisfied the next day as I headed out to help a new family who were vacationing in Stanlow. They'd stopped after putting the wrong fuel into their SEAT, and they were around an hour away. I turned up at their car and smiled to myself as I heard to the lady chastising her partner for being so silly. "How could you even manage to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this situation takes place quite frequently in Shropshire and that it's absolutely nothing to be anxious about, nevertheless he yet still got his ear bent by his wife. Unlucky guy. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some right fuel. As they drove away I waved good bye and considered what my missus would do to me if ever I made the exact same blunder... I'd personally never live it down!
