It was around six pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a rainless day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were relaxing there talking about the recent sports rankings, waiting around for the sixth job for the day to arrive. Inevitably we received a call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Longden and put petrol in her diesel Suzuki rental in error. She was rather affected it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and that things like this often happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a safe area and, because it was no more than a few minutes off from our van, we were able to find the woman swiftly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she could return to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home relaxed and a lot less worried. One more job in Shropshire well done in my opinion!

Our Fields of Expertise:

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Shropshire we have found a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent caused by people being unsure of the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And certainly take care not to start the car - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to address in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel will often trigger idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both circumstances rather easily.

Remember though that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of your garden with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Shropshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in a shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Longden (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill your car if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill up the car. They will take care of any of the usual issues which may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Longden - Longden Fuel Rescue

A motorist had broken down off a street in Longden. His Kia car had stopped functioning and he'd no clue what was awry right up until he realised he put petrol in his diesel car. He rang us to get a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I didn't detect that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He claimed that he had got zero rest the night before and that must have been the reason.
