Wrong Fuel in Car The Waterwheel, Shropshire

Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in The Waterwheel

Each and every day in The Waterwheel there are people just as yourself who unfortunately have filled the wrong sort of fuel in their vehicle. If you're researching for a swift and trustworthy fuel drain professional to aid you, in that case search no more. Our company is SPA accredited, and provides national coverage for any person who has accidentally tanked up with the incorrect fuel.

It was just after 10 pm on a Wednesday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Ryan and me were relaxing talking about the weekend's sports results, at the ready for the 8th job that day to come in. Eventually we had a phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Shell filling station in The Waterwheel and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Renault rental. She was rather affected apparently, crying "I still can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to fret, and also that such things sadly happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a protected area and, seeing as it was just a few minutes off from our van, we were able to get to the lady swiftly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she could return to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off contented and much less anxious. Yet another job in Shropshire done well in my opinion!

Put the incorrect fuel in a car or truck and somehow were able to get where you were going or have broken down on the road - we will be able to help you out. Our service plan is entirely mobile and we will be able to come out regardless of exactly where you are and have the car drained, emptied and running again in no time - and for a fair price!

AdBlue Contamination

All over Shropshire we are discovering increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent caused by people not being aware of the right way to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely be careful not to crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it off the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you will likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important issue to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol can certainly cause idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both cases quite swiftly.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a car parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank sitting in the back of your garden with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and business premises in Shropshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in an outbuilding, providing we can get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in The Waterwheel (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Shropshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) to fill up the car. They will be able to fix any of the usual issues which can go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Drain The Waterwheel - The Waterwheel Petrol in Diesel

A man had conked out just off a road in The Waterwheel. His Honda motor had ceased working and he had no clue what was wrong till he noticed he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He called us to request a fuel drain and that's when he explained to us: "I can not believe that I didn't realise that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got no sleep the night before and that could have been the reason.
