It was close to 6 pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Ryan and I were seated there talking about the recent sports rankings, waiting around for the sixth job that day to arrive. Finally we got the phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Peterstow and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Audi rental. She was somewhat affected it seemed, saying "I just can't believe I have ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to worry, also that things like this happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a protected position and, seeing as it was just a few minutes from us, we were able to find the woman swiftly. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the hotel she was staying in.

Our Areas of Competence :

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Herefordshire we are discovering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially caused by motorists not knowing how to work with it (note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Any time you get in this position don?t fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination company. Our engineers have got the specialised skills and experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to address in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank can easily lead to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances quite swiftly.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be wholly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car or truck parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel reservoir lying in the back of your garden containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and commercial properties in Herefordshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even several drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to reach it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Peterstow (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Herefordshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to fill the car. They can also handle any of the common troubles which might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Peterstow - Peterstow Fuel Removal

A gentleman called us from his place on a close in Peterstow. He explained, "My car (a Dacia) is not running and is creating dreadful noises when I turn the key." He admitted that he put petrol in his diesel car but then thought he would resolve the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We got there promptly, carried out the fuel drain and filled him up once more with untainted Diesel. He said that he'd be certain to explain to people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out promptly.
