It was just before 6 pm on a Thursday and while we were guaranteed a dry evening, it had not stopped pouring! Dan and I were resting commenting on the golf rankings, prepared for the 6th call to come in. Finally we got a call from a woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Gronwen and filled petrol in her diesel Chevrolet rental in error. The unfortunate lady was fairly affected it seemed, saying "I still cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to fret, also that these things regrettably often happen.

Our Areas of Expertise:

Below are our top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Shropshire we have encountered increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from people being unsure of the right way to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And most certainly never turn over the engine - not even to relocate it off the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you would very likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to take care of in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel will likely trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases quite easily.

You should know that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one is going to be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir laying in the rear of your premises containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Shropshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in an outbuilding, providing we can access it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Gronwen (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up the car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to refill the car. They are also able to take care of the standard troubles which might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Gronwen - Gronwen Fuel Drain

I'd had a great evening hiking during my holiday and was feeling contented the next morning as I was on the way to help a new couple who were vacationing in Gronwen. They had pulled over after inserting petrol in their Porsche, and they were around an hour away. I turned up at their car and smiled to myself as I heard to the woman berating her spouse for turning out to be so foolish. "Precisely how could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I wanted to clarify that this kind of thing happens quite frequently in Shropshire and that it is nothing to stress about, however he all the same had an earful. I felt sorry for the guy. Anyways, I extracted all the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some correct fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted farewell and thought about what my wife would say to me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I would under no circumstances live it down!
