It was close to 9 pm on a Friday and although we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ray and me were relaxing there discussing the sports results, at the ready for the next job that day to come in. In due time we got a phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had gone to the Shell filling station in Himbleton and put petrol in a diesel Volvo rental car by mistake. She was very irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe I've messed up the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to worry, plus that things like this regrettably often happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a safe space and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from where we were, we could find her fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was removed and she could go home to the motel she was living at. Although we got really drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive off contented and much less worried.

Vehicle Misfuel Himbleton - Himbleton Wrong Fuel Assist

I had appreciated a terrific afternoon fishing on the weekend and was feeling satisfied with myself the next day as I was on the way to assist a young family who were on holiday in Himbleton. They pulled over after filling the wrong fuel into their MINI, and the car was close to half an hour away. I arrived at their location and smiled as I heard to the wife chastising her man for being so daft. "Precisely how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I wanted to tell her that this kind of thing happens quite frequently in Worcestershire and that it's in reality nothing to get worried about, but he in spite of everything had an ear bashing. Unlucky guy. Anyways, I extracted the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some proper fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed good bye and wondered what her indoors would say to me if I made the exact same error... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!

Our Areas of Specialties: Services We Provide:

Below are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Worcestershire we are finding more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially thanks to people being unsure of the right way to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Since the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it asap. And of course do not start the car - not even to relocate it into a parking place. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will most likely have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to handle in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank is going to produce idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both cases rather simply.

Remember however that if the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking bay we can gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel reservoir sitting in the back of the garden full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous private and industrial premises in Worcestershire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a shed, providing we can access it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Himbleton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full Worcestershire Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your vehicle any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill your automobile. They can also fix the usual problems which can go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
