It was before 7 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! James and me were relaxing there talking about the weekend's rugby, ready for the next telephone call for the day to come in. Before long we got the phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Cross and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Nissan hire car in error. She was pretty irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I simply can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and also that these things happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a safe space and, since it was no more than a short distance away from the office, we could find the customer right away. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off relaxed and less concerned. Another fuel drain in Shropshire done well in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Shropshire we have found increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to drivers not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (important: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And absolutely take care not to start the engine - not even to shift it off of the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you will most likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be an important matter to address in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel will likely cause idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both circumstances fairly quickly.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank placed at the back of your premises full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and commercial premises in Shropshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in a garage, if we can access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Cross (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill your vehicle any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and fill up your car. They will be able to take care of the normal problems that may come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Cross - Cross Fuel Rescue

I enjoyed a wonderful evening cycling on the weekend and felt satisfied with myself the next working day as I set out to help a young couple who were vacationing in Cross. They conked out after adding the wrong fuel into their Vauxhall, and the car was about an hour away. I emerged at their car and laughed to myself as I listened to the wife telling her husband off for actually being so foolish. "Just how could you conceivably be able to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this goes on regularly in Shropshire and that it's actually absolutely nothing to get worried about, and yet he all the same got his ear bent by his missus. Unfortunate guy. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some right fuel. As they drove down the road I waved farewell and thought about what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I did the same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
