It was before five pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ryan and I were sitting there talking over the weekend's football results, waiting around for the sixth telephone call to arrive. In due time we got the call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Oteley and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel SEAT hire car in error. She was rather irritated it seemed, saying "I just can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car that I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that these things regrettably do happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a safe area and, because it was no more than a few miles from our van, we could find the customer swiftly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Even though we got really wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive away relaxed and not so apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in Shropshire well done in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Shropshire we have identified more and more examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of drivers not being totally sure the way to use it (be aware: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And absolutely never switch on the engine - not even to shift it to a parking area. In the instance that you have started the car you would almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to address in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank can easily contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases fairly expediently.

Be aware that if the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container placed at the back of your premises containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and business properties in Shropshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even several containers in a shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Oteley (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up your vehicle any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) to refill the car. They will fix the typical troubles which might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Oteley - Oteley Wrong Fuel Drain

I enjoyed a fantastic day cycling on my day off and felt contented with myself the next day as I was on the way to assist a new couple on holiday in Oteley. They conked out after putting diesel in their Volvo, and the car was around an hour away. I emerged at their location and smirked as I listened to the girl berating her spouse for actually being so stupid. "Exactly how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this takes place continuously in Shropshire and that it's absolutely nothing to stress about, but he all the same had an earful by his missus. Unfortunate chap. At any rate, I drained the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some correct fuel. While watching them drive off I shouted bon voyage and wondered what my wife would say to me in the event that I made the very same mistake... I would personally never hear the end of it!
