This service is readily accessible to both private and commercial customers.

Sadly, there are numerous people today are unwittingly adding AdBlue straight into the fuel tank.
Our mechanics, equipped with all the needed equipment and knowledge, can deal with your tank problems - whether it's accidentally added with water or AdBlue.
It was after 5 pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a rainless night, it had not ceased raining! Ryan and I were relaxing discussing the recent golf, at the ready for the 8th call to arrive. Finally we received a phone call from a girl on a business trip who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Hatfield rental by mistake. She was pretty irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that such things regrettably happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a secure position and, since it was only a few minutes from where we were, we were able to get to the customer rather quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the hotel she was living at. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away contented and much less stressed. Yet another fuel drain done well in my mind!
