A guy conked out on a road in Gravelsbank required a fuel drain around a few weeks back. His Mitsubishi was stopped on the road after he had filled up with the wrong fuel. He was calm when he phoned us but slightly anxious to get his car from the road because he was generating considerable congestion. We arrived inside a quarter-hour because our drainer was in nearby Gravelsbank and had just finished his previous job. He said, "I just don't believe I put petrol in my diesel car and stopped here! My vehicle was not running well I simply had to pull over and then it conked."

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Shropshire we are finding a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of drivers not knowing how to work with it (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously do not start up the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking area. If you did start the vehicle you may likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel is going to result in idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both cases pretty easily.

You should know though that if the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir sitting at the back of your premises with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and industrial properties in Shropshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we can reach it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Gravelsbank (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) and fill your car or truck. They are also able to handle any of the standard problems which may go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Gravelsbank - Gravelsbank Fuel Drain

Last monday a man telephoned us right after his Chevrolet broke down in the middle of a road in Gravelsbank. He had by mistake put the wrong fuel in the diesel vehicle and drove to the street before being forced to give up. It was really early in the morning and our technician, who stays locally, got to him in about a quarter hour. We were able to drain the wrong fuel and put clean diesel yet again in to the vehicle. "Many kudos to you for your fast response, particularly at 1 a.m., I appreciate it."
