It was around 6 pm on a Friday and while we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were sitting there commenting on the weekend's sports, prepared for the 6th job that day to come in. Before long we had the phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Rushton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Smart rental by mistake. The poor lady was somewhat troubled it seemed, crying "I simply can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a secure area and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance from us, we were able to reach the lady without delay. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive home contented and much less apprehensive. Yet another misfuel correction in Shropshire done well in my books!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

In Shropshire we have found a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree thanks to people being unsure of the way to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained asap. And most definitely do not switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you will most likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel may well bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both circumstances fairly expediently.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to an automobile parking spot we can reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Got an old fuel tank lying at the rear of the garden full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in Shropshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

A gentleman phoned us from Rushton to say he mistakenly piped the wrong fuel into his diesel Volvo. "I can't believe it! I can't believe I put unleaded in my nice diesel car!"
