It was about 9 pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a dry night, it had not ceased pouring! James and I were relaxing there talking about the footy, ready for the next job to come in. Finally we got a phone call from a lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Broseley and put petrol in her diesel Renault rental car. She was somewhat distressed apparently, crying "I still cannot believe I have ruined the car! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to fret, and also that such things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a safe spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles from the office, we were able to get to her quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was living in. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away relaxed and less apprehensive. Yet another job in Shropshire well done in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Shropshire we have seen a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from drivers not knowing the right way to to make use of (be aware: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Contact us if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily handle different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant issue to address in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can potentially result in idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied properly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases very simply.

Keep in mind that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel.

Fuel Rescue Broseley - Broseley Fuel Removal

I had appreciated a wonderful day hiking during the weekend and felt contented the following morning as I was en route to assist a new couple who were holidaying in Broseley. They pulled over after inserting the wrong fuel into their Volkswagen, and were about an hour's travel away. I emerged at their location and smirked while I listened to the wife telling her hubby off for being so confused. "Just how could you possibly be able to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this problem comes to pass frequently in Shropshire and that it's really nothing at all to get worried about, and yet he all the same got an ear bashing by his missus. Unlucky guy. In any case, I drained the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the right fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed farewell and thought about what my missus would do to me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I'd never hear the end of it!
