It was around six pm on a Monday and though we were promised a rainless day, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Paul and me were resting there talking about the rugby results, waiting for the next telephone call of the day to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Lower Kinsham and put petrol in a diesel Honda hire car in error. The poor lady was pretty distressed apparently, telling me "I can't believe I've messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to worry, also that such things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to get the car into a secure area and, since it was only a few miles from where we were, we could arrive at the customer rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was residing at.

Services Our Company Offers:

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Herefordshire we have seen a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from people not being totally sure the way to to make use of (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to one another on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it right away. And of course be careful not to turn over the car - not even to move it off the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you will in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to address in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol is going to lead to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both situations quite easily.

You should know though that any time the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

We've been called out to a number of private and business properties in Herefordshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.
