Wrong Fuel Drain Bridstow - Bridstow Wrong Fuel

A customer rang us from his place on a road in Bridstow. He exclaimed, "My car (a Chevrolet) is not starting up and is producing terrible noises when I turn the key." He said that he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would fix the problem by putting more Diesel on top. We arrived promptly, did the fuel drain and filled him up once more with fresh Diesel.

Assisting you get back on the road is our main goal.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Herefordshire we are discovering an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly due to people not understanding the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly be careful not to turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. In the instance that you have started the car you will in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol can bring about idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both situations rather simply.

Remember that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car or truck parking spot we can reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir lying at the rear of your garden containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and business properties in Herefordshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a shed, providing we can get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Fuel Removal Bridstow - Bridstow Fuel Drain

A motorist employed in Bridstow phoned us as soon as she had managed to get her misfueled automobile to work. She had filled unleaded in her diesel Mitsubishi and, like countless before her, imagined that she would be able to simply fill up her car with diesel and it would be alright. The car was spluttering and then it died when she arrived at the entrance of her office. We soon went to work on the fuel drain following her call and got it fixed inside 60 minutes while she was at work. She came out later on and thanked us saying, "I'm very delighted you sorted my vehicle."
