It was about 5 pm on a Friday and while we were assured a dry afternoon, it had not given up on raining! Dan and me were seated discussing the footy results, waiting for the seventh call for the day to arrive. In due time we got a call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Lickey End and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Honda hire car by mistake. She was quite agitated apparently, saying "I still can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that such things sadly often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a secure space and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes off from where we were, we could find her fairly quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive home calm and a lot less anxious. One more fuel drain in Worcestershire well done in my mind!

Wrong Fuel Assist Lickey End - Lickey End Fuel Drain
Ahhh, that was a good night of sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a bright Tuesday and we were en route to assist an older lady who put petrol in her diesel Hyundai in Lickey End. She informed us that she had left the filling station forecourt and pulled up on a backwater lane en route to see her family. I got the location plugged into the Satnav and was with her inside 60 minutes. I got to the vehicle and drained the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing it she explained, "Now I'm getting quite absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel as I had only just acquired it several days ago after my former one, which I owned for about 25 years, eventually died". I completed the job and she gave me a toffee and said thank you. Such a lovely Worcestershire lady!

AdBlue In Your Diesel
In Worcestershire we have noticed an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of drivers not understanding the way to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the vehicle.
So, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since the product is mostly deionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.
Assuming you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And obviously never turn over the vehicle - not even to move it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you will most likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to take care of in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank may well bring about idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations quite easily.
Remember however that if the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.
Marine Fuel Drains
If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a car parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}
Management of Waste Fuel
Got a fuel container laying in the rear of your premises containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial properties in Worcestershire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a storage shed, if we can get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Standard fuel drain examples in Lickey End:
I am certainly not overly excited about working Sundays, and last week was no different. I'd just left the family filled with a lovely dinner cooked for me by the better half, and I was on the way to assist a man after he filled the wrong fuel in his Land Rover. He was somewhere in Lickey End so I was there very quickly. Just as I pulled up at the rear of the car and got out he explained to me "Praise the Lord! I foolishly had my mind on other things and failed to ascertain I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I caused any kind of problems by running it?" I said that there shouldn't be problems and that also I'd personally get the wrong fuel drained at once for him. It goes without saying that I removed the wrong fuel from the car and put in the correct fuel, and then another satisfied client could carry on with their ride without difficulty. The guy could not stop thanking me, and that is exactly what can make carrying out work on Sundays in Worcestershire just that little bit less painful in my opinion!
Wrong Fuel in Car Lickey End - Lickey End Petrol in Diesel
A driver from Lickey End with her children in her diesel Dacia had filled her vehicle with £50 of petrol at the Co Op petrol station. She called us crying and genuinely worried as she had never wrong fuelled before and did not know what might happen to her car because of it. We assured her that everything should be alright and that she would be back in action very quickly. When we arrived on scene she was visible upset but as our fuel drainer got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she saw that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She soon cheered up and was up and running saying, "I just can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Especially with the little ones on board."
