It was about 8 pm on a Monday and while we were assured a dry evening, it had not stopped pouring! Ray and me were sitting there going over the recent golf rankings, ready for the seventh job for the day to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a woman on a business trip who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Brotheridge Green and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Chevrolet lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was somewhat irritated it seemed, stating "I can not believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to fret, and that these things regrettably do happen. She was able to move the car into a safe space and, seeing as it was only a few miles from our van, we could arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got really wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off satisfied and less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Worcestershire well done in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Worcestershire we are encountering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by drivers not understanding the way to work with it (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it right away. And most certainly do not switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will very likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a serious condition to handle in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel may lead to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases pretty expediently.

Remember though that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container lying in the rear of your premises with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and industrial properties in Worcestershire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a shed, assuming that we can get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Brotheridge Green (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Worcestershire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your vehicle any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to refill your vehicle. They can also take care of any of the normal troubles that could come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Brotheridge Green - Brotheridge Green Fuel Drain

A motorist had conked out just off a road in Brotheridge Green. His BMW car had ceased working and he had no idea what was faulty until he noticed he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to get a fuel drain and that's when he informed us: "I cannot believe that I did not realise that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had gotten zero sleep the evening before and that must have been the reason.
