Run out of fuel in Holme Lacy (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Herefordshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill the car. They are also able to deal with any of the most common issues that can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Herefordshire we have found a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to people not being aware of how to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Because the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. In the case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And definitely be careful not to switch on the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. In case you have started the car you may probably need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Contact us if you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can handle all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

  1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
    • A lot of smoke (more than usual)
    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
  2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
  3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
  4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
