It was before 7 pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were seated there discussing the weekend's rugby rankings, at the ready for the sixth call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the call from a woman on a business trip who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Stapleton and put petrol in her diesel Hyundai rental. She was very agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to worry, also that such things regrettably happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a secure area and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from us, we could get to the lady right away. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the motel she was staying in. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home contented and much less worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Herefordshire done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Competency :

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Herefordshire we have discovered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree due to drivers being unsure of how to work with it (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to take care of every type of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important condition to take care of in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank will trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not remedied fully, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both cases pretty easily.

You should know however that any time the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car or truck parking bay we can reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container sitting in the rear of the garden full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and industrial properties in Herefordshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in a storage shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Stapleton (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a full Herefordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up the car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) to fill the car. They will be able to fix any of the most common troubles that could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
