It was before 10 pm on a Wednesday and though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and I were seated discussing the golf, prepared for the seventh job that day to arrive. Inevitably we got the call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Haughton and filled petrol in a diesel Smart rental by mistake. She was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to fret, also that these things unfortunately happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a secure space and, because it was only a few minutes away from us, we were able to reach her fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she was able to return to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive off calm and less concerned. A fuel drain in Shropshire well done in my opinion!

Services We Give:

Listed below are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Shropshire we are encountering increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially caused by motorists being unsure of the way to work with it (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to each other on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As the product is mostly ionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely never switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it off the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious condition to handle in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol will often bring about idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances rather quickly.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car parking bay we are able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container laying at the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous private and commercial premises in Shropshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to access it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Haughton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Shropshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill your automobile in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) to refill the car. They can also handle the usual issues which may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Haughton - Haughton Petrol in Diesel

A motorist had conked out just near a road in Haughton. His Volvo car had ceased operating and he had no idea what was wrong till he realised he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he told us: "I cannot believe that I did not know that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had got very little rest the night before and that must have been precisely why.
