Our Areas of Specialties:

Below are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Herefordshire we are identifying an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly due to drivers not understanding the way to use it (remember: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it immediately. And most certainly take care not to start up the vehicle - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you would most likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important condition to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel is going to contribute to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both circumstances quite simply.

Be aware though that if the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near to an automobile parking spot we are able to access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir lying at the rear of the garden with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and business premises in Herefordshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a garage, if we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Llangrove (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Herefordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your car if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and refill your automobile. They can also take care of any of the normal issues which could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
