It was just before five pm on a Tuesday and while we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Dan and I were sitting there discussing the recent rugby results, waiting around for the next fuel drain for the day to come in. Finally we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Little Tarrington and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Land Rover rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was rather affected it seemed, crying "I still can't believe I've destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to worry, also that such things unfortunately do happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a safe area and, because it was only a few minutes from where we were, we were able to find her almost instantly. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the motel she was staying at. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive away calm and a lot less worried. Yet another job in Herefordshire well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Expertise:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Herefordshire we are identifying a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partly caused by motorists not knowing the way to use it (remember: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you end up in this position don?t panic! Contact us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination company. Our technicians have the practical know-how and working experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely an important condition to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol is going to bring about idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed fully, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases fairly quickly.

You should know though that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car parking spot we can gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel tank sitting at the back of your garden full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial premises in Herefordshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in an outbuilding, providing we can reach it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Little Tarrington (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a complete Herefordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to fill up the car. They are also able to fix the standard troubles that can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
