It was just after ten pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and I were sitting there talking about the weekend's rugby, waiting for the 6th fuel drain that day to arrive. In due time we had the call from a young lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Astley and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Nissan hire car in error. The poor lady was very affected by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to worry, and also that such things often happen. She was able to move the car to a protected spot and, seeing as it was just a few minutes off from where we were, we could reach her swiftly. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Even though we got really drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive home contented and not so concerned. A fuel drain in Worcestershire done well in my opinion!

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Worcestershire we are discovering more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly as a result of motorists not understanding how to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you end up in this scenario do not panic! Call us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination service. Our experts possess the specialised skills and experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant situation to address in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank will often trigger idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both cases pretty easily.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your premises containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in Worcestershire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in an outbuilding, providing we can reach it, we can drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Astley (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Worcestershire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your vehicle if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) to refill your car or truck. They will fix any of the common issues that could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Astley - Astley Vehicle Misfuel

A customer rang us from his place on a close in Astley. He exclaimed, "My vehicle (a Land Rover) is not starting and is creating terrible sounds when I turn the key." He admitted that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would fix the issue by putting more Diesel on top. We got there quickly, performed the fuel drain and filled him up again with clean Diesel. He said that he'd be certain to educate people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out right away.
