It was before 6 pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and I were relaxing going over the rugby, waiting around for the 6th telephone call for the day to come in. Eventually we had the call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Lea and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel light green Kia Sportage lease car by mistake. The poor lady was rather irritated it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things sadly often happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected area and, since it was only a few minutes from the office, we could get to the woman swiftly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she was able to return to the hotel she was lodging at. Although we got really drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off relaxed and a lot less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Herefordshire well done in my mind!

Boat Fuel Drains
If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out.

We've carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.
AdBlue In your Fuel
All around Herefordshire we have identified progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to motorists not knowing how to to make use of (please note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the car.
Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?
Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And most definitely never switch on the vehicle - not even to move it off the pump. In case you did start the car you will in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.
Should you find yourself in this position do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our technicians have got the technical competence and working experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Tales from our own Lea team:
Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Lea
Now I'm not too hot for doing work on Sundays, and last week was the same. I'd just departed the family after a superb Sunday roast cooked for me by the better half, and I was en route to sort out a gentleman after he had put the wrong petrol in his beloved Nissan Maxima. He was stationed in Lea therefore I was with him very quickly. Just as I pulled up at the vehicle and started work he told me "Thank the Almighty! I stupidly had my concentration on other things and did not realise I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I caused some problems simply by starting it?" I explained that generally there should not be damage and also that I'd get the wrong fuel drained right away. Naturally I removed the fuel from the vehicle and put in the correct fuel, and thus yet another contented client had the ability to continue on his traveling without the bother. The guy could hardly stop thanking me, and that is exactly what can make earning a living on Sundays in Herefordshire just a tiny bit less painful in my opinion!
Wrong Fuel Doctor Lea - Fuel Rescue Lea
A lady employed in Lea called us shortly after she had managed to get her wrong fueled automobile to the office. She had filled unleaded in her diesel light green Austin Mini Cooper S and, like plenty before her, thought that she would be able to basically fill the vehicle with diesel and it'd be okay. The engine was chugging and then it cut out when she arrived at the the front of her work. We immediately went to work on the fuel drain following her call and got it fixed in an hour or so while she was at work. She came outside soon after and thanked us stating, "I'm extremely glad you repaired my car."
