It was after seven pm on a Friday and though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased pouring! Brian and me were resting there commenting on the recent sports rankings, waiting around for the next call for the day to arrive. Before long we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Barton Court and filled petrol in her diesel Porsche lease car. The unfortunate thing was fairly affected by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that such things unfortunately happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a safe spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles from the office, we were able to get to her fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was living in. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in Herefordshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Herefordshire we have discovered progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly stemming from people not being aware of how to to make use of (remember: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to one another on the car.

Now, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it at once. And most definitely don't crank the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. In case you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually an important matter to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel may produce idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both situations quite quickly.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car or truck parking bay we are able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container laying in the back of your premises containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and business properties in Herefordshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a shed, if we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Barton Court (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Herefordshire Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill the car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up the car. They will be able to handle any of the usual problems that might come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Barton Court - Barton Court Petrol in Diesel

I'd had a fantastic day fishing on my off day and was feeling pleased the next day as I set out to aid a new family who were on holiday in Barton Court. They had pulled over after inserting petrol into their Honda, and they were roughly an hour's drive away. I turned up at their location and laughed while I heard to the woman berating her husband for being so silly. "How could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this situation occurs on a regular basis in Herefordshire and that it's nothing at all to stress about, however he yet still got an earful. I felt sorry for the boy. Anyhow, I removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some proper fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed good-bye and thought about what her indoors would tell me if ever I did the exact same thing... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
