It was about seven pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Paul and I were resting talking about the recent golf results, prepared for the 6th telephone call that day to come in. Inevitably we got the phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Fenn Green and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Land Rover rental car in error. The poor thing was quite irritated apparently, stating "I just can't believe I've messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to worry, also that things like this regrettably can happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure area and, as it was no more than a few miles from where we were, we could find her right away. The bad fuel was removed so she could return to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home relaxed and a lot less worried. A fuel drain in Shropshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Shropshire we have found a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to people not understanding how to use it (remember: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And most definitely never start up the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking area. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will very likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious condition to address in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel can easily bring about idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both cases quite simply.

Remember though that any time the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near to parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container placed in the back of the garden full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and business properties in Shropshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a shed, assuming that we can access it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Fenn Green (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Shropshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill your car if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill your car or truck. They are also able to fix any of the common troubles that might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Last week a youngster telephoned us right after his Hyundai stopped working along a road in Fenn Green.

It was still in the early hours of the morning and our fuel drainer, who stays locally, reached him in approximately twenty minutes. We managed to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel yet again into the vehicle. "Thank you for your timely response, particularly at 1 a.m., I am grateful for it."
