It was close to eight pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Brian and me were sitting there discussing the recent sports rankings, ready for the seventh fuel drain that day to arrive. Finally we had a call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Underton and filled petrol in her diesel Vauxhall lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was somewhat distressed apparently, saying "I still can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to worry, and also that such things happen. She had managed to get the car into a secure spot and, as it was just a few minutes from where we were, we could find her rather quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got extremely drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive home calm and a lot less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Shropshire well done in my books!

Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can fix any connected problems.

AdBlue Contamination

In Shropshire we have seen a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly due to people not knowing how to use it (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As the product is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us in the event that you are going through AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will handle different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a significant situation to address in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol can certainly produce idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with properly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both situations very simply.

Be aware though that if the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to an automobile parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel container laying in the back of the garden containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in Shropshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even a number of containers in a shed, providing we are able to get to it, we can drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Underton (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Shropshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to refill your vehicle. They are also able to take care of the usual problems that could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Underton - Underton Wrong Fuel in Car

A person called us from his home on a road in Underton. He exclaimed, "My car (a Suzuki) is not running and is producing terrible sounds when I flip the key." He said that he had put unleaded in his diesel car but then imagined he would fix the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We got there promptly, carried out the fuel drain and filled it up once more with fresh Diesel. He told us after that he'd be sure to advise people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to get it drained right away.
