This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Shropshire we are discovering more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from people not understanding how to work with it (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And of course be careful not to switch on the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking place. If you have started the vehicle you would very likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a significant issue to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel will likely trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not remedied fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both cases pretty easily.

Take note however that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir laying in the back of your garden containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in Shropshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Doseley (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and refill your automobile. They will be able to handle any of the typical problems that could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
