It was just after 5 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were resting going over the weekend's golf results, waiting around for the seventh call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Moorcot and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Lexus lease car in error. She was pretty irritated apparently, saying "I still cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to worry, and also that these things happen. She managed to move the car to a secure area and, since it was no more than a few minutes away from where we were, we could reach her almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could get back to the Travelodge she was living in. Although we got really drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home satisfied and much less worried. One more job in Herefordshire well done in my opinion!

Our Services:

Listed here are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

How to proceed if you have put Adblue in a Diesel fuel tank? Adblue is actually damaging to your automobile's fuel system, specifically any time you run the engine with Adblue in the fuel tank. The moment the engine has been started the Adblue is going to be pushed into your fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, bringing about devastating and costly damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained asap. And most certainly never start the engine - not even to maneuver it from the pump. If you have started the car you may most likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question an important issue to address in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in fuel is likely to result in idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both situations very easily.

Take note though that any time the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car parking spot we will be able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank laying in the rear of your garden containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and business properties in Herefordshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some containers in a shed, providing we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Moorcot (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Herefordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill your car or truck. They are also able to handle the usual issues which may come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Moorcot - Moorcot Petrol in Diesel

I'd had a fantastic day golfing on my afternoon off and felt pleased the next day as I set off to help a young couple who were on holiday in Moorcot. They pulled over after filling the wrong fuel into their MINI, and they were around an hour's drive away. I emerged at their car and smiled to myself while I listened to the gal chastising her husband for turning out to be so stupid. "Precisely how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this kind of thing takes place regularly in Herefordshire and that it's really nothing at all to get worried about, even so he all the same got an earful. Unlucky lad. Anyway, I removed all the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some right fuel. While watching them drive off I waved hasta la vista and considered what my wife would ask me if I did the very same thing... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
