Petrol in your diesel car in Stanlow? You've come to the right place. We are here to help you in this situatiuon and get you moving again with our professional fuel drain services.

It was about 8 pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a rainless night, it had not given up on raining! James and I were resting talking about the recent footy, waiting for the 6th telephone call that day to come in. Finally we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Stanlow and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Mercedes lease car in error. She was pretty agitated it seemed, saying "I still can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that things like this often happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a secure position and, seeing as it was just a short distance from our van, we could reach the woman almost instantly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was staying in. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away contented and less apprehensive. Yet another misfuel correction in Shropshire done well in my books!

We can help you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue Contamination

In Shropshire we are finding progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly stemming from people not being aware of the right way to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out immediately. And most definitely do not crank the engine - not even to move it from the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel is going to result in idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both cases rather swiftly.

Be aware that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be wholly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close to a car parking bay we can reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel container sitting in the back of your premises containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial premises in Shropshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even some drums in a shed, if we can reach it, we are able to drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Stanlow (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a full Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill your automobile if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill the car. They can also deal with the typical troubles which can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Stanlow - Stanlow Wrong Fuel

A man had broken down near a road in Stanlow. His Jaguar car had stopped functioning and he had no idea what was the problem until he noticed he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and that's when he explained to us: "I can't believe that I didn't know that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got virtually no rest the night before and that must have been the reason.
