It was after 7 pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Ryan and me were seated there discussing the rugby, ready for the next call that day to arrive. In due time we had a phone call from a lady on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Linton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel MINI lease car by mistake. She was very irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I simply cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably do happen. She was able to get the car into a secure area and, seeing as it was only a few minutes away from the office, we were able to arrive at the lady without delay. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away calm and much less concerned. One more job in Herefordshire well done in my books!

Services We Offer:

Here are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Herefordshire we are discovering an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly a result of people not understanding the way to use it (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to each other on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to take care of all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel can bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations very easily.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel tank in the back of the garden containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and industrial properties in Herefordshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps some drums in an outbuilding, if we can get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Linton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Herefordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your vehicle any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to fill up your vehicle. They can also fix the most common troubles which might go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
