It was about 5 pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and I were sitting there going over the recent rugby rankings, at the ready for the next call of the day to arrive. Before long we had the call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the BP petrol station in Shawbank and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Volvo hire car in error. She was quite irritated apparently, telling me "I simply cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and that things like this unfortunately can happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a safe area and, as it was no more than a few miles from us, we were able to arrive at the lady without delay. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could once again go back to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive off relaxed and less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Shropshire done well in my books!

Our Fields of Specialties:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Shropshire we are encountering increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent thanks to drivers not being totally sure the way to work with it (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to handle all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious matter to deal with in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank will bring about idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances pretty swiftly.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container sitting at the rear of your garden containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and business premises in Shropshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even numerous drums in a storage shed, if we are able to access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Shawbank (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full Shropshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill the car if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and refill your car. They will fix the normal troubles which may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

A man phoned us from Shawbank saying he had stupidly pumped unleaded into his diesel Fiat. "I can't believe it! I can't believe I put petrol in my beautiful diesel car!" It only took the technician approximately fifty minutes to completely drain the incorrect fuel out of the vehicle. He thoroughly cleaned the fuel system and after that put clean fuel in the car. The customer was thrilled and it didn't cost him dealership rates to get the job professionally completed.
