It was after 9 pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not given up on raining! Ryan and I were resting there commenting on the weekend's sports rankings, prepared for the seventh fuel drain for the day to arrive. Finally we had the call from a lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Uckington and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Suzuki lease car by mistake. She was quite agitated it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that these things can happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a safe spot and, seeing as it was just a few minutes away from where we were, we could find the customer right away.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Shropshire we are identifying a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of motorists not being totally sure how to to make use of (important: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the car.

So, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And certainly take care not to crank the motor - not even to move it to a parking place. If you have started the car you would almost certainly have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important condition to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel can easily cause idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both cases quite swiftly.

Remember however that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir laying at the back of the garden full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in Shropshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a storage shed, if we can get to it, we can empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Uckington (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Shropshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up your car if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and fill the car. They will fix the common troubles which could go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
