Petrol in your diesel motor vehicle in Lower Burton? Welcome to WrongFuelSoS.com. Give us a call and find out how we can help to get you up and running once again.

It was just before 9 pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Dan and I were sitting commenting on the weekend's football results, waiting around for the next job that day to arrive. Finally we had the call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Lower Burton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Jaguar hire car in error. She was quite irritated it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe I've messed up the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that these things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a secure position and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes from the office, we could find the lady almost instantly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the hotel she was living in. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off calm and much less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Herefordshire well done in my opinion!

Below are our top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Herefordshire we have encountered a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a result of motorists not being aware of the way to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Call us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to handle every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations pretty quickly.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close to a vehicle parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir placed at the rear of the garden with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and industrial properties in Herefordshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a storage shed, if we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Lower Burton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full Herefordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your automobile any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill up your automobile. They can also handle the common issues that might accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Lower Burton - Lower Burton Fuel Rescue

Yesterday a motorist contacted us right after his Mercedes stopped along a road in Lower Burton. He had unintentionally put petrol in the diesel motor and got so far as the road before being forced to pull up. It was really in the early hours of the morning and our technical engineer, who stays not far away, arrived with him in approximately a quarter hour. We managed to drain the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel yet again into the vehicle. "Sincere kudos to you for your timely response, particularly at 2 a.m., I really am grateful for it."
