It was just after five pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were resting commenting on the tennis results, prepared for the seventh call of the day to come in. Finally we had the call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Darley and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel MINI hire car. The poor thing was quite agitated apparently, stating "I just can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to worry, and also that things like this regrettably do happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a protected area and, because it was just a few miles away from our van, we were able to arrive at the woman almost instantly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying in. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off calm and a lot less anxious. A job in Shropshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Shropshire we have seen a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of motorists not being aware of the right way to work with it (remember: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can fix different types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually an important matter to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can contribute to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases pretty swiftly.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container placed at the back of the garden with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and commercial premises in Shropshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in a shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Darley (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Shropshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up the car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and fill the car. They are also able to handle the most common troubles which could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
