Regardless of where you are located within Hill Croome or the UK we are able to come to you to drain your car.

It was around seven pm on a Friday and although we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! Mark and I were relaxing there commenting on the recent sports, waiting for the sixth fuel drain that day to arrive. Finally we had the call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Hill Croome and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Citroen rental car by mistake. She was quite troubled it seemed, telling me "I can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to worry, plus that things like this often happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected position and, since it was no more than a short distance from us, we were able to find her quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home satisfied and a lot less concerned. One more fuel drain in Worcestershire done well in my opinion!

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Worcestershire we are noticing a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially thanks to people not being aware of the way to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out asap. And most definitely don't switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it off of the pump. In cases where you did start the car you would probably need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel will trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both circumstances fairly simply.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir laying at the rear of your premises containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and business premises in Worcestershire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a garage, if we can access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Hill Croome (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Worcestershire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill the car any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and refill your vehicle. They will be able to take care of the typical problems that can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Hill Croome - Hill Croome Wrong Fuel Doctor

A couple weeks ago a customer called us right after his Vauxhall stopped working on a road in Hill Croome. He had by accident put the wrong fuel in the diesel vehicle and got to the street before being forced to halt. It was early in the morning and our engineer, who stays locally, arrived with him in about 20 minutes. We were able to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel once again in the car. "Thank you for your immediate response, and in particular at 1 a.m., I really appreciate it."
