It was about eight pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! James and I were resting going over the weekend's football results, waiting around for the seventh telephone call to come in. Before long we received the phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Craven Arms and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Vauxhall lease car. She was pretty troubled apparently, telling me "I still can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that these things unfortunately often happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing as it was just a few miles away from the office, we were able to arrive at the lady fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive off satisfied and a lot less concerned. Another misfuel correction in Shropshire well done in my mind!

Listed here are the top services we provide to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Shropshire we are noticing more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent due to people being unsure of the way to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Contact us if you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can attend to all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually an important situation to take care of in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can trigger idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both cases pretty quickly.

Be aware however that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to parking bay we should be able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel container sitting in the rear of your garden full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in Shropshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

We are able to come to fill up the car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) and fill up your vehicle. They will be able to handle the common issues which might accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Craven Arms - Craven Arms Wrong Fuel Drain

A gentleman contacted us from his place on a street in Craven Arms. He explained, "My vehicle (a Volkswagen) is not starting and is producing very bad noises when I turn the ignition." He admitted that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then thought he would remedy the problem by putting more Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, carried out the fuel drain and filled it up once again with untainted Diesel. He told us after that he'd be certain to inform people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out right away.
