It was about 6 pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Paul and I were relaxing commenting on the recent football, at the ready for the next call to arrive. Before long we received the phone call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Rodington Heath and filled petrol in a diesel Peugeot hire car. She was quite distressed apparently, crying "I still cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that these things regrettably often happen. She was able to get the car into a secure space and, because it was only a short distance from our van, we were able to find the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home satisfied and not so apprehensive. Yet another job in Shropshire well done in my opinion!

A woman had conked out on a street, Rodington Heath having just put the wrong fuel in her car. She was in tears and very distressed as she had put £60 of petrol in her diesel car. As she phoned us we attempted to relax her as best we could, assuring her that it would be ok. By the time we reached her she was not troubled any more and was really interested in paying attention to our technician do the fuel drain on her Porsche. Later on she said: "My vehicle is akin to my baby, I only recently bought it and so it really horrified me that I had put a lot of wrong fuel in it. I'm glad that it was so easily fixable."

Below are our top services we offer to our clients.
AdBlue In Diesel
Throughout Shropshire we are finding increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a result of drivers not being totally sure the way to work with it (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the car.
So, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.
If you find you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained at once. And most definitely don't crank the vehicle - not even to move it from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you would in all probability need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.
Water contaminated fuel
Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually an important condition to address in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel is going to lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations very simply.
Keep in mind that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will be completely water-logged and unusable.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}
Removal of Waste Fuel
Got an old fuel reservoir placed at the back of the garden containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial properties in Shropshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a storage shed, assuming that we can reach it, we are able to empty it for you.
Out of Fuel Support
Out of fuel in Rodington Heath (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill up your vehicle. They will deal with any of the normal problems which may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in Rodington Heath
Testimonies from our Rodington Heath employees:
Now I'm certainly not too excited about doing work weekends, and a while back was the same. I had just come away from the family after eating a lovely roast made by the better half, and I was en route to help a guy after he filled the wrong petrol in his Ford. He was located in Rodington Heath and so I was there quickly. Just as I pulled up behind the vehicle and got out he told me "Praise the Almighty! I incredibly had my concentration on other stuff and failed to grasp that I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I created any kind of harm through driving it?" I determined truth be told there shouldn't be any problems and also I'd remove the fuel immediately. As expected I drained the wrong fuel from the car and put in some correct fuel, and so another pleased motorist had the ability to continue his journey with no bother. The man couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and this is what helps make carrying out work on Sundays in Shropshire that little bit easier for me!
Fuel Rescue Rodington Heath - Rodington Heath Fuel Rescue
A driver from Rodington Heath with her little ones in her diesel MINI had filled her vehicle with £20 of petrol at the Texaco filling station. She called us sobbing and very upset as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel and didn't know what would happen to her car in doing so. We told her that the car would be okay and that she would be back ready to go soon. When we arrived on scene she was visible distressed but as our engineer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she saw that help was at hand and her car wasn't unfixable. She soon enough brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Especially with the little ones in the back."
