It was just after eight pm on a Friday and though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Ryan and I were resting going over the weekend's footy rankings, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain of the day to arrive. Before long we had the call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the BP filling station in Wilden and filled petrol in her diesel Suzuki hire car in error. The poor lady was quite troubled it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that things like this can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a protected area and, as it was only a few miles from where we were, we were able to arrive at the lady quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away calm and less worried. Another fuel drain in Worcestershire well done in my books!

Services We Offer:

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

AdBlue Contamination

All over Worcestershire we are finding more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to motorists being unsure of how to work with it (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us if it turns out you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will handle every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a significant matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel can cause idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both circumstances quite swiftly.

Remember however that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank in the back of the garden with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and business properties in Worcestershire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Wilden (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Worcestershire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill the car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) to fill up your automobile. They will fix the standard troubles that may go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Wilden, Worcestershire

Wrong Fuel in Car Wilden - Wilden Wrong Fuel Doctor

I'd had a perfect afternoon cycling during the weekend and felt contented with myself the next morning as I headed out to help a young family vacationing in Wilden. They had pulled over after adding the wrong fuel into their SEAT, and were close to half an hour's travel away. I showed up at their location and laughed as I heard to the wife telling off her man for turning out to be so daft. "Exactly how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to tell her that this problem takes place all the time in Worcestershire and that it is nothing to stress about, even so he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his wife. Poor boy. In any case, I removed all the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. As they drove off I mouthed farewell and thought about what her indoors would do to me in the event that I made the same mistake... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!
