It was just before five pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and I were resting there commenting on the football, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain that day to arrive. Before long we had the call from a woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Almeley Wootton and filled petrol in a diesel Volvo hire car. She was quite irritated it seemed, stating "I cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to be concerned, also that such things regrettably often happen. She managed to move the car into a secure space and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles from us, we could arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she could return to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off calm and much less stressed. One more job in Herefordshire done well in my books!

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Herefordshire we are discovering more and more examples of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by motorists being unsure of how to work with it (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you find yourself in this position don?t fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination business. Our experts have the technical knowledge and working experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a serious issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol is likely to contribute to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both situations pretty expediently.

Remember however that if the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container laying in the rear of your garden with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in Herefordshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Almeley Wootton (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete Herefordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill up your car. They are also able to handle the most common issues which could accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Almeley Wootton - Almeley Wootton Wrong Fuel in Car

A motorist had broken down just near a road in Almeley Wootton. His Jaguar car had stopped functioning and he'd no idea what was awry right up until he noticed he put unleaded in his diesel car. He called us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he told us: "I cannot believe that I did not realise that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had gotten very little sleep the evening before and that must have been precisely why.
