It was just before five pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring! Paul and I were resting there commenting on the recent rugby rankings, prepared for the 6th call to come in. Eventually we received a phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Wilcott and put petrol in a diesel Citroen lease car in error. She was pretty affected by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe I've messed up the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to fret, plus that things like this often happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a safe position and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance from the office, we were able to reach the woman without delay. The contaminated fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying at. Although we got very soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive off satisfied and not so apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in Shropshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Shropshire we have identified more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of people not being aware of how to work with it (important: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the car.

Now, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained right away. And most certainly take care not to start the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. In cases where you have started the car you may in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to address in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol can produce idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both cases pretty simply.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking spot we can reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container sitting at the back of your premises full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Shropshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps some drums in a garage, as long as we can reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Wilcott (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and fill up your vehicle. They will handle any of the standard problems that can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Wilcott - Wilcott Fuel Removal

A couple weeks ago a young man telephoned us because his Kia ground to a halt along a road in Wilcott. He had inadvertently put petrol in his diesel car and had managed to drive as far as the road before being forced to pull up. It was still in the early hours of the morning and our technical engineer, who stays nearby, was with him in about a quarter hour. We managed to remove the wrong fuel and put clean diesel yet again into the car. "Genuine kudos to you for your prompt response, and in particular at 5 a.m., I truly appreciate it."
