It was before 8 pm on a Friday and while we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and I were resting talking about the weekend's football rankings, at the ready for the 8th call to arrive. In due time we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Craven Arms and filled petrol in a diesel Land Rover rental car. She was very troubled it seemed, saying "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to be concerned, and that these things unfortunately often happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a safe position and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles from where we were, we could arrive at her fairly quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the hotel she was lodging in. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off satisfied and not so anxious. A job in Shropshire well done in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

In Shropshire we are discovering an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of people not being totally sure the right way to work with it (pay attention: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will correct every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be an important matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel may bring about idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both cases rather easily.

Remember though that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will likely be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near to parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container laying in the back of your garden full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and business properties in Shropshire to take care of taking away 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. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in a storage shed, assuming that we can access it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Craven Arms (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete Shropshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up the car if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) to fill up your automobile. They will deal with any of the most common issues which might go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Craven Arms - Craven Arms Wrong Fuel

A customer called us from his house on a road in Craven Arms. He said, "My car (a MINI) is not starting up and is producing awful sounds when I turn the key." He admitted that he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then believed he would resolve the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We arrived promptly, did the drain and filled him up once more with fresh Diesel. He told us that he'd be sure to inform people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to get it drained immediately.
