It was about 5 pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and I were seated there talking about the weekend's rugby, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain for the day to come in. Before long we had the call from a girl on a business trip who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Aston Botterell and put petrol in her diesel Renault hire car in error. The poor lady was fairly agitated apparently, telling me "I still can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that such things regrettably happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a secure space and, since it was no more than a few miles off from the office, we were able to reach her swiftly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she could return to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive away relaxed and not so apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Shropshire done well in my opinion!

Services Our Company Offers:

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

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Shropshire we have noticed a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of drivers not knowing how to work with it (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously be careful not to start the vehicle - not even to shift it from the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may very likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a significant matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel will contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both circumstances fairly easily.

Be aware however that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be wholly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel tank lying at the back of your premises full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and business premises in Shropshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps several drums in a storage shed, as long as we are able to access it, we can empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Aston Botterell (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up 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 techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) to refill your vehicle. They can also fix any of the normal issues that might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.
