It was before 9 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! Paul and I were relaxing going over the weekend's tennis results, prepared for the 8th telephone call that day to come in. Inevitably we received a call from a girl on a business trip who had gone to the Esso filling station in Upper Forge and put petrol in her diesel MG rental in error. She was quite troubled apparently, saying "I still can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to fret, and that these things sadly do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected position and, seeing that it was just a short distance off from us, we were able to find the woman swiftly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home contented and less concerned. Another fuel drain in Shropshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

In Shropshire we have noticed an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of motorists not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the automobile.

Now, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And obviously never start the car - not even to shift it to a parking area. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may most likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel will likely bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases fairly easily.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a car parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container laying at the rear of the garden full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial premises in Shropshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a storage shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Upper Forge (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up the car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill your car or truck. They will deal with the standard issues that could go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Upper Forge - Upper Forge Fuel Removal

I had a perfect evening golfing on my off day and felt cheerful with myself the following working day as I set off to aid a young family who were on vacation in Upper Forge. They'd stopped after adding petrol into their Audi, and they were approximately an hour's drive away. I showed up at their car and laughed to myself as I heard to the girl berating her partner for turning out to be so stupid. "Exactly how could you conceivably find a way to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to tell her that this takes place on daily basis in Shropshire and that it's nothing at all to be anxious about, nevertheless he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his wife. Poor boy. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. Watching as they drove away I waved so long and considered what my wife would ask me in the event that I made the same mistake... I'd never hear the end of it!
