It was just after 7 pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ryan and I were relaxing commenting on the golf rankings, prepared for the next telephone call that day to come in. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lady on a business trip who had gone to the Esso filling station in Twyford Common and put petrol in her diesel Mazda hire car by mistake. She was fairly irritated apparently, saying "I just can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to fret, plus that such things sadly do happen. She managed to get the car to a secure space and, seeing as it was only a few miles off from us, we could find the woman right away. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could return to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Even though we got very soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off satisfied and much less apprehensive. Another job in Herefordshire well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Specialties:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Herefordshire we have found increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to people being unsure of the right way to work with it (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained at once. And definitely be careful not to crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking place. Assuming you did start the car you would likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to take care of in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank can lead to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both situations fairly expediently.

Take note that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking bay we can access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container laying in the back of the garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and business premises in Herefordshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in a garage, if we are able to access it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Twyford Common (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Herefordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) and refill your car or truck. They are also able to deal with the standard troubles which could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Twyford Common - Twyford Common Petrol in Diesel

A person contacted us from his house on a street in Twyford Common. He exclaimed, "My vehicle (a Citroen) is not starting and is producing terrible sounds when I flip the ignition." He said that he put unleaded in his diesel car but then believed he would fix the problem by putting further Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, performed the fuel drain and filled it up once more with clean Diesel. He told us that he'd be certain to explain to people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to have it drained right away.
