It was before 5 pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a dry evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were seated there talking about the footy results, ready for the next job of the day to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Gosford and put petrol in a diesel Renault lease car by mistake. The poor thing was quite troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to fret, plus that things like this can happen. She managed to get the car into a safe position and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance from us, we could reach the customer rather quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home satisfied and not so stressed. Another misfuel correction in Herefordshire done well in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Herefordshire we have identified an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to drivers not being totally sure how to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Call us in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can take care of different types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious condition to take care of in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel can potentially produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both circumstances pretty quickly.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to parking spot we are able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container lying in the rear of the garden with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in Herefordshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several containers in an outbuilding, providing we can access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Petrol in Diesel Gosford - Gosford Wrong Fuel

I'd had a great evening cycling on my holiday and was feeling contented with myself the following working day as I was en route to help a young couple vacationing in Gosford. They had broken down after filling petrol in their Volkswagen, and were approximately half an hour away. I emerged at their position and laughed to myself as I listened to the woman telling her spouse off for actually being so stupid. "How could you even be able to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this kind of thing happens quite frequently in Herefordshire and that it's absolutely nothing to get worried about, however he in spite of everything had an ear bashing. Unfortunate lad. In any case, I extracted the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some right fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved farewell and wondered what her indoors would do to me in the event that I made the exact same error... I would never ever live it down!
