Services We Give:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

All over Herefordshire we have discovered progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to drivers being unsure of the way to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And definitely take care not to turn over the car - not even to shift it from the pump. In case you did start the car you would probably need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel will likely trigger idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both situations very easily.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to parking spot we should be able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your premises with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and business properties in Herefordshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even numerous drums in a storage shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Longtown (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Herefordshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill up your automobile. They are also able to deal with the normal troubles which can come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Longtown - Longtown Petrol in Diesel

A man had stopped near a street in Longtown. His Mercedes car had stopped working and he'd no clue what was wrong right up until he realised he put petrol in his diesel car. He called us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he said to us: "I can not believe that I didn't detect that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had got zero rest the evening before and that must have been the reason why.
