It was around 8 pm on a Saturday and although we were promised a dry evening, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were relaxing going over the recent footy rankings, prepared for the 8th job that day to come in. Inevitably we received a call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Leaton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Hyundai lease car by mistake. She was somewhat affected apparently, stating "I can't believe that I've messed up the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car that I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that such things unfortunately do happen. She was able to relocate the car into a protected position and, since it was just a few minutes off from the office, we were able to reach the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the hotel she was residing in. Although we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away satisfied and not so stressed. Yet another job in Shropshire well done in my books!

Our Fields of Expertise:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue Contamination

In Shropshire we have encountered a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it at once. And absolutely do not start the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel will likely contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations quite expediently.

Remember however that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir at the rear of your garden containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business premises in Shropshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Leaton (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete Shropshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your vehicle if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to refill the car. They will handle any of the typical troubles which might accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Leaton - Leaton Wrong Fuel Drain

A gentleman had conked out just near a street in Leaton. His Smart car had stopped operating and he had no idea what was faulty until eventually he noticed he had put unleaded in his diesel car. He contacted us to get a fuel drain and that is when he told us: "I cannot believe that I didn't comprehend that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had gotten zero sleep the day before and that could have been the reason why.
