It was after five pm on a Friday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and me were sitting there commenting on the recent sports results, ready for the 6th call to arrive. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Haven and put petrol in a diesel MINI rental car. She was somewhat agitated apparently, stating "I just can't believe I've ruined the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to fret, and that such things unfortunately do happen. She managed to relocate the car to a safe space and, seeing as it was just a few minutes away from the office, we were able to reach her right away. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive away relaxed and less apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in Herefordshire well done in my opinion!

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Herefordshire we are encountering a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to motorists not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the car.

So, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely do not crank the vehicle - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to deal with in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol may well contribute to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both circumstances rather easily.

Keep in mind that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a car or truck parking spot we can access the storage and remove the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir lying in the rear of your premises containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and business premises in Herefordshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps several drums in a storage shed, provided that we can reach it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Haven (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Herefordshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill the car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and refill your automobile. They will be able to take care of the typical issues that may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.
