It was about five pm on a Tuesday and even though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were relaxing there going over the tennis rankings, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain of the day to come in. Inevitably we had the phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Hipplecote and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Chevrolet hire car. The unfortunate lady was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to fret, plus that things like this unfortunately happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a secure space and, since it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we could arrive at the lady quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could get back to the hotel she was staying at. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home satisfied and a lot less concerned. One more job in Worcestershire well done in my mind!

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Worcestershire we have noticed a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of motorists being unsure of the way to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you discover youself to be in this situation do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our technicians have the specialised skills and working experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to deal with in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank can potentially produce idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances quite swiftly.

Remember that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel tank laying in the back of the garden with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial properties in Worcestershire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even several drums in a garage, if we can get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Hipplecote (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Worcestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up the car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill the car. They are also able to fix the standard problems which could come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Hipplecote - Hipplecote Vehicle Misfuel

A gentleman called us from Hipplecote saying he mistakenly pumped petrol in his diesel Ford. "Unbelievable! How could I put unleaded in my diesel car!" It took the engineer roughly 50 minutes to completely drain the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. He completely cleaned the fuel lines, filter and pumps and then put fresh diesel in the vehicle. The customer was completely satisfied and it didn't cost him dealer prices to have the job properly done.
