It was just before ten pm on a Monday and while we were promised a dry night, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ryan and I were resting commenting on the weekend's tennis results, at the ready for the next call to come in. Before long we got the call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Blacklands and put the wrong fuel in a diesel BMW lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was pretty irritated it seemed, saying "I can not believe I've destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to fret, plus that these things can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a safe area and, since it was only a few minutes away from our van, we were able to reach the lady without delay. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the hotel she was living at. Even though we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive away satisfied and less anxious. A misfuel correction in Herefordshire well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Expertise:

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to handle it in case you may have poured Adblue in a Diesel fuel tank? It tends to be disastrous to your vehicle's fuel system, especially any time you started the car with Adblue in your fuel tank. Once the engine has been switched on the Adblue will undoubtedly be dragged into your fuel lines and will swiftly begin to crystalise, causing devastating and costly harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

In case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it immediately. And most certainly take care not to start the car - not even to move it to a parking area. If you did start the car you may probably have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to take care of in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank will often contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases very expediently.

Take note though that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container in the rear of your premises with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and business properties in Herefordshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Blacklands (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Herefordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill up your automobile. They will fix the common issues that might go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.
