Wrong Fuel Hifnal - Hifnal Wrong Fuel in Car

Just had a good night's sleep! It was 7:30 on a gloomy Wednesday and I was en route to help an elder woman who put contaminated fuel in her diesel MG in Hifnal. I had been told she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and pulled up in a backwater lane along the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I plugged the location straight into the TomTom and arrived inside an hour or so. I turned up at the car and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing the work she explained, "I'm getting somewhat absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle working with diesel as I had just bought it a short while back when my old car, which I had had for over thirty years, eventually broke down". I completed the drain and she presented me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a delightful Shropshire woman!

We can help you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Shropshire we are encountering a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from drivers being unsure of the right way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Call us in the event that you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can fix all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel can potentially trigger idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both circumstances quite expediently.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to an automobile parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container in the rear of the garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial properties in Shropshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Hifnal (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill the car if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and refill your vehicle. They are also able to handle any of the common troubles which could come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.


Fuel Drain Hifnal - Hifnal Wrong Fuel

A motorist had conked out just off a street in Hifnal. His Toyota car had ceased operating and he had no clue what was the problem till he noticed he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to get a fuel drain and that's when he informed us: "I can't believe that I didn't comprehend that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He said that he had gotten zero sleep the evening before and that must have been precisely why.

It truly was the graveyard shift. It was around 2 in the morning and nobody was around. It had become quite uneventful so far, and me and Brian were sitting around looking through a number of old newspapers. That was an uncommon quiet time in Shropshire. It was in fact so relaxing that the instant the telephone rang I jumped with surprise! The voice on the other end said: "I have just completed my night shift and foolishly filled petrol in the Skoda in error". I got him to tell us where the vehicle was situated and we hit the road, arriving in Hifnal not as much as 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was taken out from the motor. He thanked us profusely for getting there so fast. While we were returning to base we saw two young women on the side of the street who appeared to have a flat. So we stopped and helped them change it, to their elation.

A gentleman contacted us from his place on a street in Hifnal. He said, "My car (a Nissan) is not running and is making terrible sounds when I turn the ignition." He admitted that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then believed he would resolve the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We showed up promptly, carried out the fuel drain and filled him up once again with untainted Diesel. He said he would be sure to inform people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to get it drained promptly.
