It was before 6 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on raining! Ryan and me were resting there talking over the recent tennis results, prepared for the 6th job to arrive. In due time we had a call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Priest Weston and filled petrol in her diesel Ford lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was very agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I just can't believe I have destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to worry, and that things like this regrettably do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure space and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles off from us, we could arrive at the lady quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was residing at. Even though we got very wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive off contented and a lot less anxious. Another fuel drain in Shropshire well done in my mind!

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Shropshire we have identified more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from motorists not knowing the right way to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to one another on the automobile.

So, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained immediately. And absolutely never start up the engine - not even to shift it to a parking spot. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can easily cause idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both circumstances pretty simply.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank in the rear of your premises full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and business properties in Shropshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps several drums in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Priest Weston (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Shropshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to refill the car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) to fill your car or truck. They are also able to fix any of the usual problems that could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
