Services We Offer:

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Herefordshire we are noticing progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part due to motorists not understanding the way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the car.

Now, what's the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained at once. And certainly do not start up the vehicle - not even to shift it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the car you will almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious matter to handle in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol can easily result in idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both circumstances quite simply.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir lying at the rear of your garden containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial premises in Herefordshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a shed, providing we can get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Hereford (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full Herefordshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and refill the car. They can also fix the standard troubles that can go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
