Helping you get back on the road is our main goal.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Herefordshire we have identified progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to motorists not understanding the way to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it asap. And most definitely do not start up the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking place. In case you did start the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to address in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol will often bring about idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both cases quite easily.

Be aware that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank sitting in the rear of your premises containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and industrial properties in Herefordshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in a garage, as long as we are able to reach it, we can drain it.

Recent Fuel Drains in Floodgates

Stories from our own Floodgates mechanics:

I'm not very keen on doing the job on weekends, and a while back was no different. I'd just left the wife and kids filled with a magnificent roast prepared for me by the better half, and I was off to sort out a guy after he had filled the wrong petrol in his Skoda. He was only in Floodgates thus it wouldn't be a long time before I arrived with him. As I drove up behind the car and got busy draining he told me "Praise the Almighty! I foolishly had my concentration on other things and did not realise I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I brought on any kind of damage by running it?" I determined generally there should not be any kind of harm and also that I would personally remove the wrong fuel at once for him. As expected I removed the wrong fuel from the car and put in some suitable fuel, and so another contented client could carry on with his journey without any subsequent hassle. The guy couldn't stop thanking me, and that is actually what tends to make carrying out work on weekends in Herefordshire just that little bit easier for me personally!

Wrong Fuel Floodgates - Floodgates Vehicle Misfuel

A customer from Floodgates with a full car of youngsters in her diesel Citroen had filled her vehicle with £30 of petrol at the Sainsburys service station. She phoned us sobbing and really worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel car and did not know what could happen to her vehicle because of it. We assured her that all should be okay and that she would be on the road in no time at all. When we got there she was still distressed but as our fuel drainer started work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she noticed that help was at hand and her car wasn't ruined. She soon brightened up and was on her way saying, "I really can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Particularly with the youngsters on board."
