It was about 7 pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and me were seated discussing the weekend's tennis results, at the ready for the 8th telephone call to arrive. Eventually we had a call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Shrawley and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Vauxhall rental car in error. She was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I can not believe I have ruined the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to worry, and that such things sadly often happen. She was able to relocate the car into a secure spot and, as it was just a few minutes off from where we were, we could arrive at the lady without delay. The bad fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Although we got really wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home satisfied and not so anxious. Another fuel drain in Worcestershire done well in my books!

Our Areas of Competency :

Do you or your drivers often misfuel your car? We can solve any related issues.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Worcestershire we are identifying a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent a result of drivers being unsure of the right way to work with it (pay attention: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to one another on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly do not start up the motor - not even to shift it from the pump. If you have started the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant condition to take care of in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel can easily result in idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with properly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both situations very quickly.

Be aware however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to a car parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel tank sitting at the rear of your premises with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business properties in Worcestershire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in a storage shed, providing we can get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Shrawley (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Worcestershire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up the car if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) and fill your car. They are also able to fix the most common issues which might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
