It was after 10 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were resting commenting on the recent football results, ready for the next fuel drain to arrive. Inevitably we had a call from a lovely women on a business trip who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Colwall and put petrol in a diesel Chevrolet rental car. The poor thing was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that such things regrettably can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a protected spot and, because it was only a short distance away from us, we could arrive at her quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the motel she was living at. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive away calm and much less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Herefordshire well done in my books!

Our Areas of Specialties:

We can help you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

What to do if you have put Adblue into a Diesel fuel tank? It can be disastrous to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly any time you run the engine with Adblue in the diesel tank. Once the engine has been started up the Adblue will be pulled into your fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, leading to catastrophic and expensive damage to your car's fuel system.

Call us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to handle all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to deal with in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol can potentially lead to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both situations quite easily.

Take note that if the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container laying in the rear of your premises full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in Herefordshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a garage, providing we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Colwall (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Herefordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to refill your vehicle. They are also able to deal with any of the most common issues that may come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
