It was about 9 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain!

Inevitably we got the phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Astley Abbotts and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Porsche rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was very irritated it seemed, stating "I can not believe I've destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to fret, also that things like this can happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected area and, since it was just a short distance off from where we were, we were able to find the customer right away. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the motel she was staying at.

Our Services:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Shropshire we have encountered more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree a result of drivers not knowing the way to use it (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because the product is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at once. And certainly take care not to switch on the car - not even to shift it to a parking place. If perhaps you have started the car you would very likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to handle in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol is going to cause idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances quite simply.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to an automobile parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your premises full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and business premises in Shropshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a shed, providing we can reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Astley Abbotts (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill the car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) and refill your car. They will fix any of the common problems which could come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
