It was just before 8 pm on a Wednesday and while we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Mark and I were seated talking over the golf results, waiting for the sixth call that day to arrive. Eventually we got the call from a young lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Rhydd Green and filled petrol in a diesel super Peugeot 107 rental car. She was rather troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to worry, also that such things sadly can happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a secure space and, because it was just a few miles away from the office, we were able to find the customer right away. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could go home to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got very wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off satisfied and much less anxious. A job in Worcestershire done well in my opinion!

Waste Fuel Disposal
Got a fuel container placed at the back of your garden with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial premises in Worcestershire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.
No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even some drums in a shed, assuming that we can access it, we are able to empty it.
Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.
Putting water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel may well contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both circumstances very swiftly.
Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

We a few weeks ago received a call from a businessman who had put the incorrect fuel in his racing green Citron C4 in Rhydd Green. He had broken down on the road. "I couldn't believe how speedy you guys were in getting a fuel drainer out to assist me after I filled my car with the wrong fuel. I'm very grateful". It goes without saying that we were on-scene promptly and purged the engine after draining the unleaded from the diesel tank. When he arrived the fuel drainer said the customer was scowling, but was satisfied after the fuel drain.

This was most definitely what is called an unsociable time to be up. It was about dawn and hardly anyone was stirring. It had become rather quiet until now, and me and Mark were sitting perusing some old papers. It was an uncommon quiet time in Worcestershire. It was indeed that relaxing that the instant my mobile rang it made me jump! The voice on the other end explained: "I just ended my evening shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in a dirty red BMW 745 in error". I told him to inform us exactly where he was situated and we set off, ending up in Rhydd Green only half an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the vehicle. He thanked us profusely for showing up so quickly. While we were going back home we noticed two young women at the edge of the road who seemed to have a flat. As a result we pulled up to change it, much to their delight.
