It was just before 7 pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a dry night, it had not given up on raining! Mark and I were seated commenting on the rugby rankings, at the ready for the 8th telephone call to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Ponthen and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel creamy white Audi Coupe GT hire car by mistake. The poor thing was quite irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe that I've messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to worry, also that such things do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a safe spot and, since it was only a few minutes from where we were, we were able to arrive at her right away. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was living at. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away calm and much less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Shropshire done well in my opinion!

Marine Fuel Drains
If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.
Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important situation to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank will often contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both situations quite swiftly.
Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.
Wrong Fuel in Car in SY10 Postcode - Ponthen Misfueling
Just had a fantastic night's sleep! 7:30 on a gloomy Wednesday and we were on my way to help an elder lovely lady who put petrol in her diesel light green Land Rover in Ponthen. She informed us that she had left the petrol station and broken down on a backwater lane on route to pay a visit to her family. I got her location plugged in the Satnav and was with her in less than 60 minutes. I got to the location and removed the contaminated fuel out of the car. While I was doing the drain she told me, "I'm getting rather forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the car using diesel seeing that I had just got it a few days back because my other car, which I had owned for in excess of 30 years, finally broke down". I got the job done and she offered me a Murray mint and said thanks. Such a pleasant Shropshire lady!

This was exactly what is called the graveyard shift. It was around sunrise and noone was about. It was rather dead so far, and Ryan and I were relaxing looking through a number of old articles. It was a rare calm moment in Shropshire. It was in fact that relaxing that the moment the phone inevitably rang I jumped! The voice said: "I've just finished my overnight shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in my luxury BMW M6 by mistake". I asked him to tell us where the vehicle was and we left, reaching him in Ponthen no more than half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was taken out from the engine. He thanked us for coming so fast. As we were going back to base we spotted two women on the edge of the highway who appeared to have a puncture. So we pulled up and helped them change it, to their delight.
