It was around six pm on a Friday and while we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were seated discussing the rugby, at the ready for the 6th call of the day to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Broseley and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Vauxhall lease car by mistake. The poor thing was fairly irritated apparently, saying "I just can't believe I have ruined the car! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that things like this regrettably do happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a secure space and, seeing that it was just a few minutes off from where we were, we could get to the lady fairly quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home contented and a lot less worried. Yet another job in Shropshire done well in my books!

We are all set to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Shropshire we are finding an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a result of drivers being unsure of how to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And absolutely never turn over the engine - not even to shift it away from the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you would very likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant issue to address in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can bring about idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases quite easily.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to parking spot we can access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel reservoir laying at the back of the garden with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and business premises in Shropshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a shed, provided that we can reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Broseley (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Shropshire Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up the car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill your car. They will be able to handle the usual problems that might come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Broseley - Broseley Wrong Fuel in Car

I had appreciated a terrific day fishing during my afternoon off and was feeling delighted the next working day as I headed out to help a young couple holidaying in Broseley. They'd conked out after putting petrol in their Jaguar, and the car was around half an hour away. I arrived at their car and laughed as I heard to the lady berating her husband for turning out to be so stupid. "How could you conceivably find a way to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this problem happens on a regular basis in Shropshire and that it's nothing to stress about, and yet he still got an ear bashing by his wife. Unlucky guy. Anyway, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some right fuel. While they drove down the road I mouthed good-bye and considered what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I made the very same blunder... I'd never ever hear the end of it!
