It was close to six pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and me were seated talking over the golf rankings, waiting for the next fuel drain for the day to arrive. Before long we had a phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Lane End and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Ford hire car by mistake. She was rather troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe I have destroyed the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to worry, also that such things sadly do happen. She had managed to get the car into a protected area and, since it was only a short distance from the office, we could reach the lady almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could return to the Premier Inn she was living in. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off satisfied and less concerned. Another misfuel correction in Herefordshire well done in my opinion!

Our Services:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue Contamination

What to do in case you have put Adblue in your Diesel tank? It can be harmful to your automobile's fuel system, specifically if you started the car with Adblue in your diesel tank. Once the engine has been switched on the Adblue will likely be injected into your fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, causing serious and costly problems to your automobile's fuel system.

In the case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And definitely take care not to start the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking place. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you will most likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank will often cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances pretty simply.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to parking spot we can reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container sitting in the back of your garden with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and business premises in Herefordshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a shed, as long as we can get to it, we are able to empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Lane End (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a full Herefordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up the car any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill up your car. They can also handle the usual problems which may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Lane End - Lane End Petrol in Diesel

A couple weeks ago a customer contacted us just after his Smart stopped working in the middle of a road in Lane End. He had accidentally put petrol in the diesel motor and got so far as the road before having to pull up. It was early in the morning and our fuel drainer, who lives nearby, reached him in about 20 minutes. We were able to remove the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in to the car. "Genuine kudos to you for your prompt response, particularly at 5 a.m., I really appreciate it."
