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

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Herefordshire we have discovered increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of motorists not knowing the right way to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out immediately. And certainly do not turn over the motor - not even to move it from the pump. In the event that you did start the car you may in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel will produce idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both cases pretty expediently.

Be aware that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car or truck parking spot we can gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir laying at the rear of your premises containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and business properties in Herefordshire for the purpose of removing and recycling 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 mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Linton (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Herefordshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill the car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill your vehicle. They can also fix the normal problems that could accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Linton - Linton Vehicle Misfuel

I had enjoyed a terrific day fishing on my holiday and was feeling contented with myself the following working day as I was on the way to aid a new couple away in Linton. They had pulled over after filling the wrong fuel into their Skoda, and were about an hour away. I showed up at their position and laughed to myself as I heard to the girl telling off her man for being so confused. "Just how could you possibly manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to clarify that this happens all the time in Herefordshire and that it's absolutely nothing to get worried about, and yet he still had an ear bashing. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. At any rate, I extracted the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some right fuel. While they drove away I waved so long and thought about what my wife would say to me if I made the same mistake... I would under no circumstances live it down!
