It was after 10 pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a dry evening, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were resting there discussing the recent golf, waiting around for the 6th call to come in. Eventually we received the call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Lower Forge and filled petrol in a diesel black Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG rental by mistake. She was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to worry, also that things like this regrettably happen. She managed to get the car into a secure spot and, because it was no more than a few minutes off from us, we were able to get to the lady rather quickly.

Waste Fuel Disposal

We've been called out to many domestic and industrial premises in Shropshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a garage, providing we are able to get to it, we can drain it.
Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a significant matter to address in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can contribute to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly easily.
Be aware though that so long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will be completely wet and unusable.

This was exactly the graveyard shift. It was around 3 in the morning and noone was stirring. It had been quite quiet so far, and me and Brian were loafing looking at a number of old papers. That was a rare tranquil hour in Shropshire. Actually it was in fact that quiet that the instant the telephone ultimately rang it made me jump! The person explained: "I've only just ended my overnight shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in the diesel cream Jeep Commander". I instructed him to let us know just where he was located and we left, ending up in Lower Forge only an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine.
