It was close to eight pm on a Monday and although we were assured a dry day, it had not stopped raining! Ray and I were sitting commenting on the recent footy rankings, prepared for the 8th job that day to come in. Before long we got the phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Bridges and filled petrol in her diesel SEAT rental in error. The unfortunate lady was quite affected by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to worry, also that things like this sadly happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a protected space and, because it was only a few minutes off from our van, we could get to the woman right away. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home relaxed and much less apprehensive. Another job in Shropshire done well in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Shropshire we are finding more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of drivers not understanding the way to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it immediately. And most certainly don't start up the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may very likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank is likely to lead to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both cases fairly simply.

Remember though that whenever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel container laying at the rear of your garden with aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial properties in Shropshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in an outbuilding, if we can get to it, we are able to drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Bridges (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete Shropshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill up your automobile. They will handle any of the most common problems that can go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
