It was around eight pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were relaxing talking over the recent rugby results, ready for the 6th call that day to come in. Before long we got the call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Bushmoor and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Porsche lease car by mistake. The poor lady was pretty affected it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe that I've messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I had forgot I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to fret, plus that these things unfortunately can happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a secure position and, because it was just a few miles away from us, we were able to reach her quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off contented and much less anxious. One more fuel drain in Shropshire well done in my books!

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your car? We can resolve any associated problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Shropshire we have seen progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly as a result of motorists not understanding how to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And most certainly don't crank the motor - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In cases where you have started the car you would most likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious matter to deal with in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel may well cause idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both cases rather easily.

Remember however that if the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Got an old fuel tank sitting at the back of the garden with aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and industrial properties in Shropshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in a garage, as long as we can access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Bushmoor (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Shropshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill the car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill your car or truck. They are also able to fix the normal troubles that could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.
