It was just before 8 pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! Paul and me were resting there talking over the golf results, prepared for the 6th call to arrive. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Brownheath and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel clean white Toyota MR2 rental by mistake. She was pretty agitated it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to fret, also that things like this sadly happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a secure area and, as it was no more than a few miles from us, we were able to reach the lady rather quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the motel she was living in.

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting in the back of your premises full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and commercial properties in Shropshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a shed, provided that we can get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Shropshire we are finding increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of people not being totally sure the way to work with it (please note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it's just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained at once. And certainly don't crank the motor - not even to shift it into a parking bay. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would probably need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Any time you end up in this situation don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our technicians have got the practical skills and experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel Assist Brownheath - Wrong Fuel in Car Brownheath

I'd had a fantastic afternoon hiking during my day off and was feeling delighted with myself the following working day as I set off to aid a young family on holiday in Brownheath. They stopped after adding diesel in their mustard yellow Subaru Impreza WRX, and the car was roughly half an hour away. I turned up at their location and smirked as I listened to the lady telling her hubby off for being so foolish. "How could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I attempted to tell her that this kind of thing happens on a regular basis in Shropshire and that it is nothing at all to be anxious about, and yet he yet still had his ear bent. Poor guy. At any rate, I removed all of the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching as they drove off I mouthed good-bye and wondered what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I made the same mistake... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!
