It was around six pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased raining! Brian and I were sitting there talking over the football rankings, waiting for the 8th job to arrive. Finally we had the phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Brooklands and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Land Rover lease car in error. She was rather troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe that I've messed up the car! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to fret, and also that things like this sadly can happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected space and, since it was no more than a few miles from where we were, we could get to the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive home contented and not so worried. A job in Shropshire well done in my opinion!

Wrong Fuel Assist Brooklands - Brooklands Wrong Fuel
Just had a fantastic night's sleep! 7:30 am on a warm Sunday and we were en route to assist an older woman who put contaminated fuel in her diesel Fiat in Brooklands. She informed us that she had left the petrol station and broken down on a backwater road on route to pay a visit to her family. I got the location plugged in the Satnav and was on-scene in less than an hour. I reached the car and extracted the wrong fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing the work she said, "I am getting rather forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car using diesel as I had only just bought it a short while back right after my former car, which I'd had for more than thirty years, finally broke down". I got the job completed and she presented me a peppermint and said thanks. Such a lovely Shropshire woman!
Therefore, if you have topped up your petrol car with diesel, or put the wrong fuel in your diesel car just about anywhere in Shropshire, speak to us now. Our professional technicians are completely ready and waiting for you.

Petrol in Diesel Brooklands - Brooklands Wrong Fuel Drain
A man had conked out off a road in Brooklands. His MINI engine had stopped functioning and he had no idea what was faulty till he noticed he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he told us: "I cannot believe that I didn't realise that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had gotten zero rest the day before and that must have been the key reason why.

AdBlue Contamination
In Shropshire we have discovered a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of people being unsure of the right way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.
So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.
Phone us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can handle every type of AdBlue contamination.
Water contaminated fuel
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a significant situation to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank will bring about idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both cases rather expediently.
Bear in mind that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will be totally wet and useless.
Boat Fuel Drains
In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a vehicle parking spot we can access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}
Waste Fuel Management
Got an old fuel reservoir lying in the rear of your premises full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and industrial properties in Shropshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a storage shed, providing we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it.
Out of Fuel Service
Run out of fuel in Brooklands (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up your vehicle. They will be able to fix the normal issues which could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in Brooklands
Common fuel drain tales in Brooklands:
Now I am not necessarily overly excited about doing work on Sundays, and a week ago was no different. I'd only just left home after a lovely dinner cooked by the missus, and I was on my way to assist a guy who had put the wrong petrol in his Hyundai. He was only in Brooklands and so it wasn't long before I arrived with him. Just as I drove up behind the vehicle and got busy draining he told me "Praise the Almighty! I stupidly had my mind on stuff and failed to grasp that I've put diesel in my petrol car. Have I inflicted any kind of harm through starting it?" I revealed that generally there probably should not be any harm and also I would remove the wrong fuel at once for him. It goes without saying that I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with some correct fuel, and so another pleased customer could continue their travelling without fuss. The man could not stop thanking me, and that is exactly what helps make carrying out work on Sundays in Shropshire that tiny bit less painful to me!
Fuel Drain Brooklands - Brooklands Fuel Rescue
A man who had unfortunately put petrol in his diesel Nissan contacted us for a fuel drain at the Shell filling station in Brooklands. He had decided to top up before proceeding on to the local caravan park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put unleaded instead of diesel which wasn't a wonderful beginning to our holiday break." It was really no challenge whatsoever for our engineer to go along and perform the fuel drain. We hope everyone enjoyed their vacation.
