It was before 9 pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ryan and me were sitting talking over the weekend's football results, ready for the seventh call of the day to come in. Before long we had a phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Stockton and filled petrol in her diesel Jaguar rental. The poor lady was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I can not believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to fret, and that such things can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe position and, as it was no more than a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to reach her swiftly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the Premier Inn she was living at.

Services We Give:

Listed here are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Herefordshire we are finding increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly a result of drivers not knowing the right way to use it (pay attention: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to one another on the car.

So, what's the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And definitely don't switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking area. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you would most likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to address in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank may result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both situations rather easily.

Be aware that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be wholly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel reservoir laying in the rear of the garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business properties in Herefordshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even several containers in a garage, provided that we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Stockton (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Herefordshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill the car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and fill your car. They are also able to deal with the common troubles which could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.
