It was just before seven pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a rainless day, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and I were resting talking over the weekend's football rankings, ready for the next call that day to come in. Eventually we had the phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Stoke Edith and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Chevrolet hire car. The poor thing was very troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I can not believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe space and, because it was no more than a short distance from the office, we were able to reach her almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she could get back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Even though we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off calm and a lot less worried. A fuel drain in Herefordshire done well in my books!

Vehicle Misfuel Stoke Edith - Stoke Edith Wrong Fuel Drain

What a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 am on a sunny Tuesday and I was on the way to help an elder sweetheart who put the wrong fuel in her diesel Audi in Stoke Edith. I'd been advised she had left the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up on a rural lane along the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got her location punched in the Satnav and was on-scene in less than an hour. I arrived at the location and drained the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. As I was working she said, "I am becoming rather absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car working with diesel as I had just bought it a few days ago right after my other car, which I'd had for more than 30 years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I finished the drain and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. What a precious Herefordshire woman!

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Herefordshire we have discovered a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially due to people being unsure of the way to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to each other on the automobile.

Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely take care not to start up the motor - not even to shift it to a parking spot. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be an important situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel will often result in idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both circumstances pretty simply.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car parking spot we should be able to access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel container sitting in the back of the garden containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and industrial properties in Herefordshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a shed, as long as we can get to it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Stoke Edith (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Herefordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill the car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) and fill up your vehicle. They are also able to fix the typical troubles that may go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in Stoke Edith

Some reports:

Now I'm not actually excessively inclined to doing work on weekends, and last week was no different. I'd only just left the wife and kids filled with a magnificent Sunday roast cooked for me by the better half, and I was en route to assist a gentleman who filled the incorrect fuel in his Citroen. He was located in Stoke Edith thus it wouldn't be long before I arrived with him. As I pulled up at the rear of the car and got out he told me "Praise the Lord! I had my mind on stuff and failed to realise I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I brought about any kind of damage by simply driving it?" I determined truth be told there should not be any damage and also I would personally get the wrong fuel drained at once. Naturally I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with some appropriate fuel, and thus yet another happy client had the ability to carry on with his travelling without fuss. He did not stop saying thanks to me, and this helps make operating on Sundays in Herefordshire just a tiny bit less painful in my opinion!

A gentleman called us from his Kia where he had broken down on the congested road. "I erroneously put unleaded in my diesel car and I soon discovered all about it a few miles down the road!" Happily we were able to attend him in a rather quick time, bearing in mind the fact it was rush-hour, and he was before long back on the road.
