Wrong Fuel in Car Meadow Green, Herefordshire

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Herefordshire we have encountered increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to drivers not knowing the right way to use it (note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the car.

So, what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And most certainly be careful not to crank the motor - not even to move it to a parking place. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank can certainly produce idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both circumstances fairly easily.

Keep in mind however that if the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container laying in the rear of the garden with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and business premises in Herefordshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to access it, we can drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Meadow Green (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Herefordshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up the car. They can also fix the common troubles that might go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Meadow Green - Meadow Green Fuel Drain

I appreciated a terrific evening hiking on the weekend and was feeling delighted with myself the next day as I was on the way to help a new family who were on holiday in Meadow Green. They'd conked out after adding petrol into their Lexus, and were close to an hour's travel away. I arrived at their car and smirked as I listened to the wife berating her partner for turning out to be so daft. "Exactly how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I wanted to explain that this goes on regularly in Herefordshire and that it's nothing at all to worry about, and yet he in spite of everything got an earful by his wife. Unlucky chap. Anyways, I removed the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive off I waved hasta la vista and thought about what her indoors would do to me if ever I made the very same blunder... I would personally never ever live it down!

Recent Fuel Drains in Meadow Green

Several of the common circumstances we come across from our employees in Meadow Green:

We recently got a phone call from a driver who put the wrong fuel in his Renault in Meadow Green. He had ground to a halt on the street. "After inserting petrol in my diesel car I didn't recognise the problem before I stopped working. You cleared the wrong fuel from my car and got it running once again. I was happy as a result of both your call-out time and your pricing". Of course we showed up punctually and purged the engine after draining all of the petrol from the diesel tank. The driver was pleased as punch by the time we finished and he was able to drive away completely happy.

Fuel Rescue Meadow Green - Meadow Green Fuel Rescue

This was what we call an unsociable hour to be up. It was roughly dawn and nobody was stirring. It was rather quiet thus far, and me and Mark were sitting about perusing a few old magazines. It was an uncommon calm moment in Herefordshire. It was in fact so calm that the moment the phone rang I jumped! The voice on the opposite end said: "I just finished my overnight shift and stupidly poured petrol in my diesel Nissan by mistake". I instructed him to tell us where he was and we headed out, ending up in Meadow Green not as much as an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was extracted from the engine and he thanked us profusely for coming out so fast. As we were returning to the office we spotted two young ladies on the edge of the highway who appeared to have a puncture. As a result we got out to change it, much to their delight.
