It was close to 7 pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Mark and me were sitting going over the recent tennis, waiting for the seventh fuel drain for the day to arrive. Eventually we had a phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Birtley and filled petrol in a diesel Ford hire car by mistake. She was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe I have destroyed the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that such things do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a secure position and, seeing that it was only a few minutes off from our van, we could find the customer without delay.

Our Areas of Experience :

We are willing to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Shropshire we are discovering progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a result of motorists not understanding how to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to correct every type of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol can contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations pretty quickly.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container placed in the rear of your premises containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and commercial properties in Shropshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Birtley (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your vehicle if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home.
