It was around five pm on a Wednesday and while we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and I were sitting there going over the sports results, ready for the next fuel drain for the day to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a woman on a business trip who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Shrewsbury and filled petrol in her diesel Mazda rental car by mistake. She was somewhat distressed apparently, saying "I still can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to fret, and that things like this sadly happen. She managed to move the car into a protected area and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes off from us, we could find her almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Even though we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive away calm and not so worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Shropshire well done in my mind!

Ahhh, that was a good night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a warm Bank Holiday Monday and I was on the way to help an older woman who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel Ford in Shrewsbury. I'd been informed she had left the filling station forecourt and was pulled up on a rural road along the way to see her godchildren. I punched the location in the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour. I turned up at the vehicle and removed the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was working she said, "I have been getting somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel seeing that I'd only just got it a couple of days back after my former one, which I had for more than 25 years, finally died". I got the job completed and she offered me a peppermint and said thank you. Such a delightful Shropshire lady!

Petrol in Diesel Shrewsbury - Shrewsbury Vehicle Misfuel
I had appreciated a great afternoon cycling during the weekend and was feeling pleased with myself the next day as I set off to help a young family who were away in Shrewsbury. They stopped after putting the wrong fuel in their SEAT, and they were approximately an hour's drive away. I arrived at their car and laughed to myself as I heard to the woman chastising her husband for turning out to be so stupid. "Just how could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this takes place quite frequently in Shropshire and that it is nothing to stress about, but he all the same had an ear bashing by his wife. Poor boy. In any case, I drained out the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some right fuel. While they drove down the road I mouthed so long and considered what my missus would say to me in the event that I made the exact same blunder... I would never ever live it down!

AdBlue Contamination
In Shropshire we are noticing a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part stemming from motorists being unsure of the way to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the vehicle.
Well, what's the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.
In the event that you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out right away. And obviously never crank the car - not even to move it to a parking place. In the event that you have started the car you would very likely need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.
Fuel contaminated with water
Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a significant issue to address in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol can trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both cases rather simply.
Be aware that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will be totally wet and ineffective.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near to an automobile parking spot we can reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}
Disposal of Waste Fuel
Have an old fuel container at the back of your garden containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and commercial properties in Shropshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a storage shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it.
Out of Fuel Services
Out of fuel in Shrewsbury (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your car any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill up your automobile. They can also take care of any of the normal issues that might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in Shrewsbury
Customary fuel drain tales in Shrewsbury:
A young adult who had recently got his licence had misfueled his Mitsubishi by putting petrol in the diesel vehicle at the service station close to Shrewsbury. He said, "This is the second time I have filled up my car from the time when I bought it and I have no clue of how to proceed." He was also scared because his dad had just recently bought him the car. He came across us on the internet and so called it immediately, afraid about what he ought to do. Our man on the telephones told him that we could be on scene inside forty-five minutes and to not do anything to his vehicle while he waited.

Wrong Fuel Assist Shrewsbury - Shrewsbury Fuel Removal
A young lady from Shrewsbury with a full car of little ones in her diesel Skoda had filled her vehicle with £45 of petrol at the Shell station. She contacted us weeping and extremely upset as she had never wrong fuelled and didn't know what could happen to her car in doing so. We assured her that the car should be ok and that she would be ready to go soon. When we arrived on scene she was visible upset but as our technician began work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she noticed that something could be done and her car wasn't wrecked. She soon cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Especially with the children on board."
