It was close to 7 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and me were resting there talking over the rugby, at the ready for the sixth job for the day to come in. In due time we got the phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell filling station in Marston and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Peugeot rental car in error. She was very irritated apparently, crying "I cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to fret, and that things like this regrettably often happen. She was able to relocate the car into a protected position and, since it was just a few miles off from the office, we were able to arrive at the lady swiftly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact that we got extremely wet, it was all worth it to see her drive off satisfied and not so worried. One more job in Herefordshire well done in my books!

Helping you get back on the road is our primary goal.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Herefordshire we have discovered a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly a result of drivers not being totally sure the way to work with it (note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it at once. And definitely don't turn over the engine - not even to move it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you will probably need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important condition to take care of in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel can certainly lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out properly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases fairly swiftly.

Remember though that so long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car or truck parking spot we are able to reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank placed in the rear of your premises containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in Herefordshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in a garage, assuming that we can access it, we can empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Marston (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Herefordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill your car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up your automobile. They can also handle any of the common troubles that could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Marston - Marston Wrong Fuel Assist

I'd had a perfect day golfing on my holiday and felt delighted with myself the following day as I set off to help a new couple who were holidaying in Marston. They pulled over after putting petrol into their Toyota, and were close to an hour's drive away. I arrived at their location and smirked as I heard to the wife chastising her spouse for being so stupid. "Exactly how could you even find a way to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this takes place frequently in Herefordshire and that it is nothing at all to stress about, even so he still had an earful by his missus. Unlucky boy. Anyhow, I drained all of the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some right fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted hasta la vista and wondered what my wife would say to me in the event that I made the very same blunder... I'd never ever live it down!
