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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Herefordshire we are identifying progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially caused by drivers not being totally sure how to use it (note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it at once. And obviously never start up the engine - not even to move it away from the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would probably need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant situation to take care of in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel may result in idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not remedied fully, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both situations fairly simply.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to an automobile parking bay we can reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel tank in the rear of your premises with old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial premises in Herefordshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Little Doward (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Herefordshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and fill your car. They are also able to fix the most common troubles which could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
