It was around seven pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a rainless evening, it had not ceased pouring down rain! James and I were resting commenting on the sports, at the ready for the 6th call of the day to arrive. Finally we had the call from a woman on a business trip who had gone to the Shell filling station in Knockin Heath and put petrol in a diesel Hyundai hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was pretty irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to fret, and also that things like this often happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure area and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes away from us, we could reach the lady without delay.

Our Areas of Competency :

We can assist you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Shropshire we are identifying an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from drivers not being aware of the right way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to one another on the car.

Well, what's the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel car? As the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it asap. And definitely take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it off the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you may in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious condition to address in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank will often bring about idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both situations fairly simply.

Keep in mind however that whenever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank placed in the rear of your garden containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and commercial premises in Shropshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a garage, assuming that we can reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Knockin Heath (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Shropshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) to refill your car or truck. They will be able to take care of the usual issues which could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.
