It was just before 5 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and I were resting talking over the sports rankings, prepared for the next telephone call for the day to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Bagwyllydiart and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Mercedes lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was fairly distressed apparently, crying "I just can't believe that I have ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to worry, and also that such things sadly can happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a safe area and, seeing as it was just a few miles off from our van, we could arrive at the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive away contented and a lot less apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in Herefordshire well done in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Herefordshire we have identified a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to drivers not understanding the way to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Call us in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily correct different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank is likely to produce idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with fully, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both cases quite quickly.

Remember though that any time the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank lying in the back of your premises containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and commercial properties in Herefordshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a garage, provided that we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Bagwyllydiart (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a comprehensive Herefordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill your car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to refill your car. They are also able to handle the typical issues which may go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
