Wrong Fuel Drain Orleton - Orleton Fuel Drain

What a good night of sleep! It was 7:00 am on a warm Sunday and I was on my way to help an older lady after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel Citroen in Orleton. I had been informed she had left the filling station forecourt and pulled up in a country lane along the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I plugged her location into the TomTom and got there within an hour. I turned up at the stricken lady and drained the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. While I was doing it she said to me, "Now I'm becoming quite forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle working with diesel because I'd only just got it a few days back right after my other one, which I had owned for more than 30 years, finally broke down". I completed the job and she gifted me a peppermint and said thank you. Such a lovely Herefordshire lady!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Herefordshire we have encountered more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a consequence of motorists being unsure of the right way to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As the product is mainly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily handle different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol can produce idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both situations fairly swiftly.

You should know that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking bay we can gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank sitting at the back of your premises containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and industrial premises in Herefordshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in an outbuilding, if we can access it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Orleton (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Herefordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your automobile if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) to fill your car or truck. They can also deal with the common troubles that might accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in Orleton

Stories from our Orleton personnel:

We got a call from a customer whose Dacia had conked out on a street after a misfuel. "I got the pumps mixed up and put petrol instead of diesel in my car by mistake. You arrived and sorted out the situation when my vehicle gave up." We drained the petrol from the diesel tank and flushed the engine thoroughly and the driver could then go on with his deliveries.

Fuel Drain Orleton - Orleton Vehicle Misfuel

A woman from Orleton with a full car of children in her diesel Skoda had put £45 of petrol at the Sainsburys petrol station. She phoned us sobbing and extremely upset as she had never wrong fuelled before and didn't know what might happen to her vehicle . We assured her that everything would be alright and that she would be in action quickly. When we arrived she was visible upset but while our technician began work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she noticed that help was at hand and her car wasn't ruined. She quickly cheered up and was up and running saying, "I just can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Especially with the kids in the back."

I had a perfect day fishing on my off day and was feeling delighted the following working day as I set out to help a new couple away in Orleton. They'd conked out after filling petrol into their Hyundai, and they were about half an hour's drive away. I turned up at their position and smirked to myself as I listened to the woman telling off her spouse for actually being so daft. "Exactly how could you actually be able to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this problem occurs constantly in Herefordshire and that it's in reality nothing at all to fret about, but he still got his ear bent. I felt sorry for the chap. Anyways, I extracted the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some proper fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted good bye and pondered on what her indoors would do to me if I did the same thing... I would never live it down!
