It was just before 6 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and me were seated there going over the recent rugby rankings, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain for the day to arrive. Inevitably we got a phone call from a woman on a company trip who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Acton Burnell and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Dacia rental. The unfortunate lady was very affected apparently, stating "I still can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and that these things unfortunately happen. She managed to move the car into a secure position and, as it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we could get to her right away. The wrong fuel was removed so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Although we got really drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home satisfied and less stressed. A misfuel correction in Shropshire well done in my opinion!

Our Fields of Expertise: Services Our Company Offers:

Here are the top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Shropshire we have found more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to people not being totally sure how to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Contact us if it turns out you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can attend to all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant matter to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol will likely cause idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations quite expediently.

Be aware that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank placed at the rear of the garden with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in Shropshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we can get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Acton Burnell (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Shropshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill the car any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up the car. They can also fix the usual issues that can come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
