It was before five pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were seated there talking over the football results, waiting for the 6th job that day to come in. Finally we got the phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Sunset and filled petrol in her diesel Smart rental car. The unfortunate thing was fairly irritated it seemed, crying "I still cannot believe I've ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that these things sadly do happen. She was able to relocate the car to a secure position and, since it was only a few minutes from our van, we were able to find the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the motel she was residing in. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive off contented and much less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Herefordshire well done in my mind!

Our Fields of Specialties:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to handle it in case you?ve poured Adblue into a Diesel fuel tank? Adblue tends to be harmful to your automobile's fuel system, particularly in cases where you run the engine with Adblue in the diesel fuel tank. The moment the engine has been started the Adblue will likely be dragged into your fuel lines and will swiftly begin to crystalise, causing serious and costly damage to your car's fuel system.

In the case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it right away. And certainly be careful not to start the engine - not even to move it off of the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you will in all probability need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a significant condition to take care of in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel may contribute to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both cases very simply.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir at the rear of your garden with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many domestic and business properties in Herefordshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in a storage shed, if we can access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Sunset (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Herefordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill your car. They are also able to take care of any of the typical troubles that may come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
