It was before 6 pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ray and I were sitting talking over the weekend's sports results, waiting for the sixth telephone call of the day to come in. Before long we received the call from a young lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Norbridge and put petrol in a diesel Renault lease car. She was somewhat distressed apparently, telling me "I can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that things like this unfortunately often happen. She managed to relocate the car to a safe position and, seeing as it was just a few miles from our van, we were able to find her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. Yet another job in Herefordshire done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Expertise :

Below are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Herefordshire we are finding more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially a result of people being unsure of the way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it at once. And absolutely be careful not to start up the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking bay. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important condition to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel may contribute to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both cases very easily.

You should know that so long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car or truck parking bay we can reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel reservoir placed at the back of the garden with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and industrial premises in Herefordshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even several containers in an outbuilding, provided that we can get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Norbridge (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Herefordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up the car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill your car. They will be able to handle the most common issues that could go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
