It was just before 7 pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and me were seated talking about the weekend's sports rankings, prepared for the next call that day to arrive. In due time we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP filling station in Shrawley and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Land Rover rental car by mistake. She was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that these things sadly can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a protected position and, as it was only a few minutes off from the office, we could find the customer swiftly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could get back to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got very wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away contented and much less stressed. Another misfuel correction in Worcestershire done well in my mind!

Services We Give:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Worcestershire we are discovering increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to people not understanding the right way to to make use of (note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car? As the product is predominantly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously do not switch on the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking place. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant matter to handle in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel may well produce idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both cases pretty quickly.

Be aware that any time the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank lying at the rear of the garden with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business premises in Worcestershire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Shrawley (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Worcestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to fill your vehicle. They are also able to deal with the common troubles which can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
