It was just before 8 pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! James and me were relaxing there talking over the recent football, ready for the next call of the day to arrive. In due time we got a phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Wormbridge Common and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Renault rental by mistake. She was somewhat troubled it seemed, stating "I still cannot believe I have ruined the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to fret, also that things like this unfortunately happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a secure spot and, as it was just a few minutes off from us, we were able to reach her fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the hotel she was living in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home contented and less worried. Another job in Herefordshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Herefordshire we are discovering a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly thanks to people being unsure of how to work with it (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it right away. And most definitely take care not to crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it off of the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you will most likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a significant situation to address in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank may contribute to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with fully, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both situations quite simply.

Be aware that if the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one is going to be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking spot we can access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container lying in the rear of the garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and business premises in Herefordshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even some containers in a shed, assuming that we can get to it, we can empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Wormbridge Common (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete Herefordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) and refill the car. They will fix the normal issues which can accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
