It was after seven pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it had not given up on pouring! Paul and I were seated there talking about the weekend's golf rankings, ready for the seventh job for the day to arrive. Inevitably we had a call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling station in The Humbers and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Citroen hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was fairly affected it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to fret, also that things like this unfortunately can happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe position and, as it was only a short distance off from our van, we could get to the customer without delay. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could get back to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off calm and not so concerned. One more fuel drain in Shropshire done well in my opinion!

Provided Services: Our Specialties:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to proceed in the event that you may have poured Adblue into a Diesel tank? AdBlue is a liquid that?s composed of a blend of high-purity ionized water (67.5%) and urea.Adblue is actually damaging to your car's fuel system, specifically in cases where you started the car with Adblue in your tank. As soon as the engine has been switched on the Adblue will undoubtedly be pushed into your fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, resulting in serious and costly damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

Give us a call if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can take care of every type of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious condition to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel is going to bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases rather easily.

Be aware however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will likely be wholly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to parking spot we are able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container placed in the back of your premises full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in Shropshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we can empty it.

Out of fuel in The Humbers (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home.

They are also able to handle any of the most common issues which might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
