It was around five pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry day, it had not ceased raining! Ray and I were relaxing commenting on the sports rankings, waiting around for the next job for the day to come in. Inevitably we received a call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Hungryhatton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Ford rental. She was quite irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to fret, also that things like this regrettably do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a secure position and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles from the office, we could get to the lady quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away relaxed and not so worried. Another misfuel correction in Shropshire well done in my books!

Vehicle Misfuel Hungryhatton - Hungryhatton Fuel Rescue
What a quality night's sleep! It was 7:00 on a rainy Saturday and I was on the way to help an elder sweetheart after she had put petrol in her diesel Mitsubishi in Hungryhatton. She informed us that she drove away from the filling station forecourt and pulled up on a backwater lane on the way to visit her family. I got the location punched into the TomTom and arrived within 60 minutes. I arrived at the stricken lady and removed the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the work she said to me, "I am getting somewhat forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car needing diesel since I had only bought it a few days ago because my previous car, which I'd owned for over thirty years, eventually gave up the ghost". I got the job done and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my work. What a precious Shropshire lady!

Our Areas of Experience :
These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:
AdBlue In Diesel
Throughout Shropshire we are encountering more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to people not being totally sure how to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the vehicle.
Now, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.
If in case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And certainly don't switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. In the event that you did start the vehicle you will most likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.
Water contaminated fuel
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important condition to address in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel will likely produce idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations very quickly.
Be aware that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be totally water-logged and unusable.
Boat Fuel Drains
If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}
Management of Waste Fuel
Have an old fuel container sitting in the back of your garden full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and commercial properties in Shropshire for the purpose of draining and recycling 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 a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even several drums in a shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it.
Re-Fueling Support
Run out of fuel in Hungryhatton (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Shropshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill the car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to refill your car or truck. They will fix the typical problems which can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
Wrong Fuel Assist Hungryhatton - Hungryhatton Fuel Removal
I had enjoyed a wonderful day fishing during my day off and was feeling delighted the following morning as I headed out to help a young couple who were holidaying in Hungryhatton. They'd broken down after putting diesel into their Toyota, and the car was around half an hour away. I emerged at their location and smiled to myself while I heard to the lady telling her partner off for actually being so confused. "How could you actually be able to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to clarify that this happens all the time in Shropshire and that it's truly nothing to worry about, and yet he yet still had his ear bent by his missus. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed all of the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted good bye and wondered what my missus would ask me if ever I did the very same thing... I would personally never ever live it down!

A youngster who had recently got his licence had misfueled his Vauxhall by getting unleaded in his diesel at the filling station close to Hungryhatton. He said, "This is the second time I have fuelled my car since I bought it and I don't know how to handle it." He was also scared because his father had just recently got him the car. He located our company on the web and so called us right away, frightened about what he ought to do. Our guy on the telephones advised him that we would be on scene within 45 minutes and to not do anything to the car while waiting.

Wrong Fuel Hungryhatton - Hungryhatton Fuel Removal
A customer from Hungryhatton with a full car of kids in her diesel Audi had filled her car with £42 of petrol at the Shell service station. She called us sobbing and really worried as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel before and did not know what might happen to her car in doing so. We assured her that the car would be okay and that she would be back up and running very quickly. When we arrived she was still upset but while our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she recognised that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She quickly brightened up and was up and running saying, "I really can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Especially with the youngsters on board."
