It was around 10 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and me were seated there discussing the recent golf, waiting for the 8th job for the day to come in. Before long we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Archenfield and put petrol in a diesel Jaguar hire car in error. The poor thing was quite agitated it seemed, stating "I still cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that such things sadly often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a protected space and, since it was just a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to find the customer almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away satisfied and less apprehensive. Yet another job in Herefordshire well done in my books!

Our Areas of Competency :

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Herefordshire we are discovering progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly caused by drivers not understanding the right way to use it (pay attention: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the automobile.

So, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And certainly do not start the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In the event that you did start the car you may probably need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel will bring about idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances quite expediently.

You should know however that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to parking spot we can access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container in the back of your garden full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and business properties in Herefordshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Archenfield (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full Herefordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your car any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and fill the car. They will take care of any of the common troubles that can come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
