Services Our Company Offers:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue Contamination

In Herefordshire we have discovered more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to drivers not knowing how to use it (remember: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to one another on the car.

Now, what's the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely be careful not to turn over the motor - not even to move it off the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank will likely trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both cases rather expediently.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to parking bay we are able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir lying in the back of your garden with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and business premises in Herefordshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in a garage, providing we are able to reach it, we can drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Limebrook (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Herefordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill your automobile in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your car. They can also take care of the standard problems which might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Limebrook - Limebrook Wrong Fuel Drain

I had a fantastic afternoon golfing during the weekend and felt cheerful the next working day as I set off to help a new couple who were on vacation in Limebrook. They'd pulled over after putting the wrong fuel into their Volkswagen, and were approximately half an hour's travel away. I got there at their car and laughed while I listened to the lady berating her hubby for turning out to be so stupid. "How could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this goes on everyday in Herefordshire and that it's absolutely nothing to stress about, nonetheless he in spite of everything got an earful. Poor chap. Anyhow, I drained out all of the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some right fuel. As they drove away I waved goodbye and thought about what her indoors would ask me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never live it down!
