It was just before seven pm on a Wednesday and though we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and I were seated there talking over the weekend's rugby, ready for the 8th call to arrive. In due time we got a call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Staunton on Wye and filled petrol in her diesel Chevrolet hire car by mistake. She was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to worry, plus that such things regrettably often happen. She had managed to get the car to a protected position and, as it was no more than a few minutes from us, we could arrive at the woman rather quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive off calm and a lot less apprehensive. One more job in Herefordshire done well in my opinion!

Services We Provide:

Listed below are our top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Herefordshire we have discovered an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of drivers not being aware of the way to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Phone us in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to attend to different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a significant matter to take care of in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel will often contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both situations pretty expediently.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will probably be wholly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel container sitting in the rear of the garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial properties in Herefordshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in a garage, as long as we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Staunton on Wye (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Herefordshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) and refill your car or truck. They will be able to deal with any of the common issues that could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
