Below are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Shropshire we are finding a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of people not knowing the right way to use it (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out immediately. And most certainly do not start up the car - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you may most likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant matter to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel will often trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of fully, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both situations very simply.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir sitting at the back of your garden full of aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and business properties in Shropshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Uckington (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up the car any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill up your car or truck. They will be able to deal with any of the common problems which might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
