It was just after five pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were sitting commenting on the recent rugby rankings, at the ready for the 6th job for the day to come in. Finally we had a phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Moorcot and filled petrol in a diesel Hyundai rental car in error. She was rather troubled it seemed, saying "I can not believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!"

Services We Deliver:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue Contamination

In Herefordshire we have identified more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree stemming from drivers being unsure of the way to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you get in this predicament don?t panic! Contact us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination service. Our experts possess the technical expertise and experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question an important issue to take care of in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel may bring about idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both circumstances fairly simply.

Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

We have been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in Herefordshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can drain it.

Wrong Fuel Assist Moorcot - Moorcot Wrong Fuel Assist

I'd had a great day cycling during my off day and felt pleased with myself the next working day as I was en route to help a new family on vacation in Moorcot. They stopped after adding petrol into their Kia, and they were close to half an hour's drive away. I showed up at their car and smirked to myself while I heard to the girl telling her hubby off for turning out to be so confused. "Precisely how could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I wanted to clarify that this kind of thing comes to pass frequently in Herefordshire and that it's nothing at all to be anxious about, even so he still got an ear bashing. Unlucky boy. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed all the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted farewell and wondered what my missus would ask me if I made the exact same mistake... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
