It was around five pm on a Friday and although we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were sitting commenting on the recent golf results, at the ready for the seventh job of the day to come in. Finally we received the phone call from a girl on a company trip who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Archenfield and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel MG rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was rather affected it seemed, crying "I simply can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that such things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to get the car to a secure spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes away from us, we could get to her without delay. The wrong fuel was removed and she could go home to the Travelodge she was living in. Although we got really drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away satisfied and less worried. One more misfuel correction in Herefordshire well done in my mind!

We can assist you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Herefordshire we are finding progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to people not being aware of the way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that the product is primarily deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And of course never switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it off the pump. If you did start the car you would in all probability have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant matter to address in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol may bring about idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both cases fairly swiftly.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be totally wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank laying in the rear of your garden with old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and industrial premises in Herefordshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered 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 container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in a storage shed, as long as we can access it, we can drain it.

Wrong Fuel in Car Archenfield - Archenfield Petrol in Diesel

A guy had broken down just near a street in Archenfield. His Nissan car had ceased working and he had no clue what was awry right up until he noticed he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that's when he explained to us: "I cannot believe that I did not detect that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had gotten absolutely no rest the day before and that could have been precisely why.
