It was before seven pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't ceased raining! Paul and me were relaxing discussing the football results, waiting for the 8th call that day to arrive. Finally we had a phone call from a girl on a company trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Humber and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Citroen hire car by mistake. She was somewhat troubled it seemed, saying "I still can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that these things regrettably can happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure position and, as it was no more than a few miles from where we were, we were able to arrive at the customer without delay. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could return to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive away satisfied and less anxious. A fuel drain in Herefordshire done well in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Herefordshire we are encountering a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially a result of drivers not being totally sure how to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Call us if you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will take care of all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious condition to deal with in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol may trigger idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations quite easily.

Take note though that any time the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel tank in the back of the garden with old, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in Herefordshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Humber (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Herefordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home.
