It was just before 5 pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and me were sitting discussing the weekend's rugby results, at the ready for the seventh telephone call to come in. In due time we received the phone call from a woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Bycross and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Toyota hire car in error. She was quite irritated it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to worry, also that such things unfortunately happen. She managed to move the car to a safe area and, because it was just a short distance from our van, we could find her right away. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was living at. Even though we got really drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive home relaxed and less apprehensive. A job in Herefordshire well done in my books!

Our Areas of Competency :

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your car? We can solve any connected issues.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Herefordshire we are finding an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a consequence of people not being aware of the way to work with it (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And most certainly be careful not to crank the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may most likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important condition to address in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel can trigger idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations quite easily.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel reservoir placed at the back of your premises containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and industrial properties in Herefordshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even some drums in a storage shed, provided that we can reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Bycross (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full Herefordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill your car any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) and fill up your vehicle. They can also deal with the usual issues that can go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Bycross - Bycross Wrong Fuel Drain

A person called us from his house on a road in Bycross. He explained, "My car (a Audi) is not running and is generating awful sounds when I flip the key." He admitted that he had put petrol in his diesel car but then believed he would fix the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We got there quickly, performed the fuel drain and filled him up again with fresh Diesel. He told us after that he'd be sure to tell people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to have it drained promptly.
