It was close to seven pm on a Tuesday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and me were seated talking about the weekend's sports results, prepared for the seventh telephone call of the day to come in. Inevitably we had a call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Upper Hergest and put petrol in a diesel Chevrolet rental car in error. She was somewhat irritated apparently, crying "I still cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to worry, and that such things often happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a safe spot and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance from the office, we could find the lady quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the hotel she was living in. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive off relaxed and less anxious. Another fuel drain in Herefordshire done well in my opinion!

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:
AdBlue In your Fuel
Throughout Herefordshire we have seen more and more examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly caused by motorists not knowing the right way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the automobile.
Well, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.
Any time you discover youself to be in this predicament do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination company. Our experts have the practical skills and experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious condition to deal with in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol will likely trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both cases rather simply.
Take note however that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will be totally wet and useless.
Boat Fuel Drains
In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}
Disposal of Waste Fuel
Got an old fuel container placed in the back of your premises with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and industrial properties in Herefordshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even a number of drums in a shed, as long as we can access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Now I am not actually overly keen on doing work on weekends, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I'd just come away from the wife and kids after having a fantastic roast prepared by the wife, and I was off to assist a fellow who had put the wrong fuel in his BMW. He was situated in Upper Hergest so it wouldn't be a long time before I got to him. Just as I drove up right behind the car and stepped out he said to me "Thank the Almighty! I foolishly had my mind on something else and did not realise I had put diesel in my petrol car. Is it possible I created some harm through driving it?" I determined truth be told there probably should not be any kind of damage and that I would get the wrong fuel drained as quickly as possible. Naturally I removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle and filled up with some appropriate fuel, and yet another happy customer could carry on with his journey with no bother. The guy couldn't stop thanking me, and that is what can make earning a living on Sundays in Herefordshire just a little bit less painful for me!
