It was before six pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ryan and I were resting there commenting on the recent rugby results, at the ready for the seventh call of the day to come in. Eventually we received a phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in The Humbers and filled petrol in her diesel Chevrolet rental by mistake. She was fairly agitated it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to fret, also that such things regrettably often happen. She had managed to get the car into a safe position and, since it was no more than a few minutes away from our van, we could arrive at the lady without delay.

Services We Provide:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Shropshire we have encountered an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from drivers not being totally sure the way to to make use of (note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely don't crank the vehicle - not even to shift it off of the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a significant matter to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel will trigger idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both circumstances very swiftly.

Keep in mind that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close to a vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel reservoir in the back of the garden full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and commercial premises in Shropshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in The Humbers (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a complete Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up the car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill up your car or truck. They can also handle the usual problems that could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
