It was just before 10 pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Dan and I were sitting commenting on the weekend's golf results, waiting for the 8th job for the day to arrive. In due time we had a phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Westonwharf and put petrol in her diesel Mercedes rental car in error. She was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that such things sadly can happen. She was able to relocate the car into a safe space and, as it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we were able to get to the customer swiftly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the hotel she was living at. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home calm and much less anxious. A job in Shropshire well done in my books!

Listed below are our top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Shropshire we are encountering progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly caused by drivers not being totally sure the way to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the car.

Well, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And certainly take care not to turn over the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. If you did start the vehicle you will probably need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually an important issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol is going to bring about idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both cases quite easily.

Be aware that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir at the rear of the garden with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and commercial properties in Shropshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a garage, provided that we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Westonwharf (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Shropshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up your car. They are also able to handle any of the most common troubles which might come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.
