It was close to 8 pm on a Friday and though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were resting there commenting on the recent tennis rankings, ready for the next job for the day to arrive. Inevitably we had a call from a lovely women on a business trip who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Brockhampton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Dacia hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was rather agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I simply can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to worry, plus that such things unfortunately can happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a safe space and, since it was no more than a short distance away from the office, we could find the woman almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the motel she was residing at. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away satisfied and much less anxious. Another misfuel correction in Herefordshire done well in my books!

Offered Services:

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Herefordshire we have noticed increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly caused by drivers not knowing the way to use it (important: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the car.

Now, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly never switch on the car - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. Assuming you have started the car you may in all probability have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important issue to address in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol can easily lead to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both circumstances pretty expediently.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close to an automobile parking spot we can reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir placed in the back of the garden full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and business properties in Herefordshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Brockhampton (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Herefordshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your automobile if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill your car. They can also handle the most common problems which may come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Brockhampton - Brockhampton Petrol in Diesel

I had a great day cycling on my holiday and felt delighted the next working day as I set off to assist a young family away in Brockhampton. They had conked out after putting petrol into their Mitsubishi, and they were around half an hour's drive away. I got there at their location and smirked to myself as I heard to the lady telling off her partner for being so stupid. "How could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this happens on a regular basis in Herefordshire and that it is nothing to fret about, even so he all the same got an ear bashing. Poor guy. Anyway, I extracted all the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. While they drove away I waved good-bye and thought about what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I made the very same error... I'd never ever live it down!
