It was just after ten pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ray and I were relaxing there discussing the recent rugby, ready for the next job of the day to arrive. In due time we received the phone call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Lower Southfield and filled petrol in her diesel Peugeot rental by mistake. She was rather affected by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe I have messed up the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that things like this unfortunately do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a secure area and, seeing as it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to arrive at her swiftly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact that we got really wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home calm and much less apprehensive. A fuel drain in Herefordshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Herefordshire we have identified an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to drivers being unsure of how to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In case you discover youself to be in this predicament do not panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination business. Our technicians have got the specialised skills and working experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to handle in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel may produce idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both cases pretty simply.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank laying at the back of your garden containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in Herefordshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a garage, provided that we are able to access it, we can drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Lower Southfield (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Herefordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) to refill your car or truck. They can also deal with the typical problems that might come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Lower Southfield - Lower Southfield Wrong Fuel

I had appreciated a terrific evening hiking on the weekend and felt contented with myself the following day as I set off to help a young family on holiday in Lower Southfield. They had pulled over after adding diesel in their Skoda, and the car was about an hour away. I emerged at their position and smiled while I heard to the girl telling off her hubby for actually being so confused. "How could you possibly be able to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to tell her that this comes to pass continuously in Herefordshire and that it's nothing to get worried about, however he still had his ear bent. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive away I waved good-bye and thought about what her indoors would say to me if ever I made the same blunder... I'd never live it down!
