Below are the top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Worcestershire we have encountered progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of motorists not knowing the right way to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the car.

So, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it asap. And obviously never start the motor - not even to move it away from the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you would in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to address in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel will often contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both cases quite expediently.

Remember however that any time the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to parking spot we can reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container sitting at the back of your premises full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business properties in Worcestershire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even several containers in an outbuilding, if we can access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Banks Green (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Worcestershire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to refill the car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) to fill the car. They are also able to handle the usual problems which can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
