It was around 8 pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were sitting going over the weekend's tennis, waiting for the next telephone call that day to arrive. Before long we got a phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Yorton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel MINI rental car in error. She was very irritated it seemed, saying "I can not believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, and that these things unfortunately can happen.

Petrol in Diesel Yorton - Yorton Vehicle Misfuel

Ahhh, that was a great night's sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a bright Saturday and I was on my way to help an old lady after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel SEAT in Yorton. I had been told she had left the petrol station forecourt and pulled up along a rural road on route to visit her grandchildren. I got the location punched in the TomTom and was on-scene inside an hour. I got to the car and extracted the wrong fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing it she said, "I'm becoming fairly absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle taking diesel seeing that I had just acquired it a short while back because my other one, which I owned for over thirty years, inevitably stopped working". I completed the job and she gave me a toffee and said thank you. What a delightful Shropshire lady!

Services We Provide:

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

AdBlue Contamination

All over Shropshire we are discovering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to motorists not being aware of the right way to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And of course don't start up the car - not even to shift it to a parking bay. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally an important situation to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol will cause idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both situations very easily.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a motor vehicle parking spot we can access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir laying in the back of your premises containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial properties in Shropshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a garage, assuming that we are able to access it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Yorton (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) and fill your vehicle.

Following next are comments and instances of wrong fuel removal undertaken in Yorton:

I am not necessarily so keen on doing work on weekends, and the other day was no different. I had only just left the wife and kids filled with a superb dinner made by the better half, and I was en route to sort out a fellow because he put the incorrect fuel in his Hyundai. He was somewhere in Yorton therefore I arrived there rapidly. Just as I pulled up right behind the car and started work he said to me "Thank the Almighty! I foolishly had my mind on other considerations and didn't perceive I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I inflicted any problems by simply running it?" I said that generally there probably should not be damage and that I'd personally drain the contaminated fuel at once. Needless to say I removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and put in the appropriate fuel, and thus another contented client was able to carry on with his ride without any hassle. The guy could not stop thanking me, and this is exactly what tends to make operating on weekends in Shropshire just that little bit better to me!

A driver who had sadly put the wrong fuel in his diesel Land Rover phoned us for a fuel drain at the BP filling station in Yorton. He thought it would be good to top up before continuing on to the nearby holiday park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put unleaded as opposed to diesel which unfortunately wasn't a great start to our getaway." It was certainly no hassle by any means for our engineer to go and perform the fuel drain. We hope everyone had a good vacation.
