It was just after seven pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and me were resting there commenting on the recent tennis, at the ready for the next fuel drain for the day to come in. Inevitably we got a call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Gronwen and put petrol in a diesel Hyundai lease car in error. The poor lady was very affected apparently, stating "I still can't believe that I have ruined the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that these things regrettably can happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a protected area and, seeing that it was just a short distance from our van, we could reach the customer without delay. The wrong fuel was extracted and she could go home to the motel she was residing in. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away calm and less worried. Another job in Shropshire well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Expertise :

Listed here are our top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Shropshire we are finding increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a result of drivers not being totally sure how to use it (note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the car.

So, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Phone us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can correct all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important matter to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol can certainly trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both cases very swiftly.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank at the rear of your premises full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial premises in Shropshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even several containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Gronwen (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill your car if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your automobile. They can also fix any of the common problems which may go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Gronwen - Gronwen Wrong Fuel in Car

I had appreciated a wonderful day fishing during the weekend and was feeling delighted the following working day as I set out to assist a new couple who were vacationing in Gronwen. They conked out after filling petrol into their SEAT, and the car was roughly an hour's travel away. I arrived at their location and laughed to myself while I heard to the wife telling her man off for turning out to be so stupid. "Precisely how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I attempted to tell her that this occurs quite frequently in Shropshire and that it's truly nothing at all to be concerned about, however he yet still got an earful. I felt genuine sympathy for the chap. In any case, I drained out the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching while they drove away I waved hasta la vista and wondered what her indoors would say to me in the event that I did the very same thing... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
