Here are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Shropshire we have noticed an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by drivers not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if it turns out you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to correct all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question an important issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel can easily produce idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both situations fairly easily.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir laying in the back of your premises with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and industrial premises in Shropshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a shed, if we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Shifnal (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Shropshire Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill your car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) to fill up your automobile. They can also take care of the common issues that can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Shifnal - Shifnal Wrong Fuel Drain

Yesterday a driver called us when his Mazda died along a street in Shifnal. He had by mistake put the incorrect fuel in his diesel motor and got as far as the road before needing to halt. It was actually early in the day and our technical engineer, who stays locally, reached him in about a quarter hour. We were able to drain the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel yet again in to the car. "Genuine thanks to you for your timely response, especially at 2 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."
