It was before 10 pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a dry evening, it had not given up on pouring down rain! James and me were seated there talking about the recent sports results, prepared for the sixth telephone call to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Ketley and put petrol in a diesel Renault rental car by mistake. The poor lady was pretty irritated it seemed, saying "I still can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that these things sadly happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected area and, seeing as it was only a few minutes from us, we were able to reach the woman quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could return to the Travelodge she was staying at. Even though we got very soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away relaxed and much less apprehensive. Yet another misfuel correction in Shropshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Shropshire we have encountered increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely do not start up the car - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In case you have started the car you will most likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question an important situation to take care of in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol may well bring about idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both circumstances very expediently.

Bear in mind that so long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to an automobile parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container placed at the back of your garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and industrial premises in Shropshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even some drums in a shed, provided that we can get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

We will come to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to fill your car.

Vehicle Misfuel Ketley - Ketley Vehicle Misfuel

A week ago a motorist telephoned us just after his Suzuki stopped on a road in Ketley. He had mistakenly put unleaded in his diesel car and got to the road before having to pull up. It was early in the morning and our engineer, who stays locally, was with him in less than 15 minutes. We managed to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel back in to the car. "Thank you for your fast response, and in particular at 1 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
