A man conked out on a road in Frodesley had to have a fuel drain roughly a month ago. His Hyundai was stopped on the side of the road after he had misfueled. He was calm when he called us but somewhat concerned to get his car away from the road since he was generating some traffic. We arrived in a quarter-hour because our drainer was in neighbouring Frodesley and had concluded his previous job. He said, "I do not believe I put unleaded in my diesel car and broke down here! My vehicle was coughing I basically were forced to pull over and subsequently it just died."

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Shropshire we have discovered an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly a result of people not knowing the right way to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to one another on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely be careful not to switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. If you did start the car you would most likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually an important condition to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel can easily cause idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both situations rather expediently.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a vehicle parking bay we can access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank placed at the rear of your garden with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and business premises in Shropshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a shed, providing we are able to access it, we are able to empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Frodesley (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Shropshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) and refill your car. They can also deal with any of the typical problems which might accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Frodesley - Frodesley Wrong Fuel in Car

A couple weeks ago a man telephoned us after his Skoda died along a street in Frodesley. He had unintentionally put the incorrect fuel in his diesel vehicle and drove to the street before having to stop. It was in the early hours of the day and our fuel drainer, who lives locally, was with him in about 20 minutes. We were able to drain the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in the car. "Many kudos to you for your fast response, and in particular at 3 a.m., I appreciate it."
