Petrol in your diesel car in The Hem? You've come to the right place. We are here to assist you in this hour of need and get you running again with our specialist fuel drain assistance.

It was about 9 pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a dry afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were seated there discussing the recent golf, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain to come in. Before long we received the call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the BP petrol station in The Hem and filled petrol in her diesel Volvo lease car by mistake. The poor thing was quite agitated apparently, saying "I still cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that things like this unfortunately can happen. She had managed to move the car into a secure position and, since it was just a few miles off from where we were, we were able to reach the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could get back to the hotel she was living in. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive away satisfied and not so anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Shropshire well done in my books!

Listed here are our top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Shropshire we are discovering an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to drivers not understanding the way to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to take care of every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant issue to address in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can potentially contribute to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both situations quite expediently.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car or truck parking bay we are able to access the storage and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and commercial properties in Shropshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even several drums in a shed, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in The Hem (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill the car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) and fill up your vehicle. They can also fix the standard troubles which might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car The Hem, Shropshire

Wrong Fuel Doctor The Hem - The Hem Wrong Fuel

A guy had conked out off a road in The Hem. His Vauxhall car had stopped running and he had no idea what was awry right up until he noticed he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He called us to get a fuel drain and that is when he explained to us: "I can't believe that I didn't comprehend that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He claimed that he had got zero rest the night before and that must have been the key reason why.
