It was after seven pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were relaxing there discussing the weekend's tennis rankings, ready for the 8th job that day to come in. In due time we received the phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the BP filling garage in Heath Lanes and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Mercedes hire car. She was somewhat troubled it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to worry, and also that things like this unfortunately can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a safe area and, as it was no more than a few miles from our van, we were able to reach her without delay. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could return to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive off contented and a lot less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Shropshire well done in my opinion!

Vehicle Misfuel Heath Lanes - Heath Lanes Wrong Fuel Doctor

Just had a great night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Tuesday and I was en route to assist an elder woman who had put petrol in her diesel Volvo in Heath Lanes. She informed us that she had left the filling station and stranded on a country road en route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I popped her location straight into the Satnav and arrived in less than an hour or so. I reached the location and drained the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she told me, "I'm becoming quite forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car working with diesel as I had just got it several days ago after my old car, which I owned for more than twenty years, finally died". I finished the drain and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. What a lovely Shropshire lady!

Fuel Drain Heath Lanes - Heath Lanes Wrong Fuel

A gentleman had broken down just off a road in Heath Lanes. His Lexus car had stopped working and he'd no clue what was the problem right up until he realised he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Shropshire we have discovered more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of drivers not knowing the way to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the car.

Now, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it immediately. And obviously take care not to turn over the motor - not even to shift it away from the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you would in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank will often contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations quite expediently.

Remember however that any time the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will probably be wholly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container placed in the back of the garden full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and industrial premises in Shropshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps several drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to access it, we can drain it.

Recent Fuel Drains in Heath Lanes

Usual incorrect fuel drain stories in Heath Lanes:

Now I am not ever too inclined to carrying out work on Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I'd only just departed the wife and kids after eating a fantastic dinner cooked by the better half, and I was on the way to assist a gentleman because he put the incorrect fuel in his Suzuki. He was situated in Heath Lanes therefore it wasn't long before I got to him. Just as I arrived at the car and got out he explained to me "Praise the Almighty! I stupidly had my concentration on something else and failed to perceive I had put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I created any harm through running it?" I revealed there probably should not be any problems and that I would drain the wrong fuel as quickly as possible. As expected I removed the fuel from the car and filled it with some correct fuel, and yet another pleased motorist was able to continue on his ride without difficulty. The guy couldn't stop thanking me, and this is exactly what tends to make earning a living on weekends in Shropshire a tiny bit easier in my opinion!

Wrong Fuel Heath Lanes - Heath Lanes Wrong Fuel Drain

A young lady from Heath Lanes with her children in her diesel Chevrolet had filled her vehicle with £20 of petrol at the station. She contacted us sobbing and extremely upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel car previously and did not know what would happen to her car in doing so. We told her that the car would be ok and that she would be in action in no time at all. When we got there she was visible distressed but as our technician began work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she recognised that help was at hand and her car wasn't unfixable. She soon enough brightened up and was up and running saying, "I simply can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my car! Specifically with the little ones in the back."
