It was just before 9 pm on a Tuesday and while we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Ray and I were resting discussing the rugby results, waiting for the seventh telephone call that day to come in. Finally we got a call from a girl on a business excursion who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Red Rail and put petrol in a diesel Smart hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I am so used to filling my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that these things sadly can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a safe space and, because it was no more than a few miles off from the office, we could get to the customer rather quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could get back to the hotel she was living at. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off contented and less anxious. One more misfuel correction in Herefordshire well done in my books!

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Herefordshire we are noticing progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent caused by motorists not knowing the right way to work with it (be aware: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's like putting 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. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it right away. And most definitely be careful not to crank the vehicle - not even to move it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious condition to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel is likely to contribute to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances pretty expediently.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to an automobile parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel container placed at the back of your premises full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and business properties in Herefordshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in a storage shed, providing we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Red Rail (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Herefordshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) to refill the car. They can also handle the typical issues which can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
