It was close to eight pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped raining! Paul and me were relaxing talking over the weekend's sports rankings, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain that day to arrive. Inevitably we had a phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Heathcote and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Audi lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe that I have ruined the car! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that things like this unfortunately can happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a safe spot and, because it was just a few minutes off from the office, we were able to find her quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was living in. Although we got very soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off relaxed and a lot less worried. A job in Shropshire done well in my mind!

Our Fields of Expertise:

Do you or your drivers often misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any associated problems.

AdBlue Contamination

In Shropshire we have seen more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent thanks to drivers not knowing how to use it (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it immediately. And obviously be careful not to start the car - not even to relocate it into a parking place. In the event that you did start the vehicle you will likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to deal with in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank will likely result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both situations quite swiftly.

Keep in mind however that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container lying at the rear of the garden with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in Shropshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even some containers in a shed, providing we can get to it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Heathcote (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up the car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and fill your car. They can also handle any of the typical troubles which might come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Heathcote - Heathcote Wrong Fuel in Car

A guy had stopped off a road in Heathcote. His MINI car had ceased functioning and he had no idea what was awry right up until he realised he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I can not believe that I did not realise that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had gotten virtually no sleep the evening before and that must have been the reason why.
