Here are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Herefordshire we are noticing a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to people not being totally sure how to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the car.

Now, what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it immediately. And most certainly don't start the car - not even to shift it from the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you would most likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a serious situation to take care of in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel will bring about idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both cases pretty swiftly.

Keep in mind that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel tank placed in the back of the garden with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and industrial premises in Herefordshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps some drums in a storage shed, providing we can access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Halmonds Frome (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Herefordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill your car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and refill your automobile. They will be able to fix the common issues which can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
