It was just before 10 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and I were relaxing commenting on the footy rankings, waiting for the 6th telephone call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in The Weaven and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Ford hire car. The unfortunate thing was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that such things regrettably happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a protected spot and, seeing that it was just a few minutes from where we were, we were able to find the woman quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Even though we got very wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home contented and much less stressed. One more job in Herefordshire done well in my books!

Services Our Company Offers:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Herefordshire we are discovering a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a consequence of motorists not knowing the way to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Any time you end up in this predicament don?t panic! Call us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination service. Our engineers have the practical expertise and working experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank is likely to trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both circumstances quite quickly.

Keep in mind that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will likely be wholly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container in the rear of the garden with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in Herefordshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in The Weaven (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Herefordshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your vehicle if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to refill the car. They are also able to deal with any of the most common troubles which may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain The Weaven - The Weaven Wrong Fuel Drain

A person phoned us from The Weaven to state that he had foolishly piped the wrong fuel into his diesel Mitsubishi. "I can't believe it! I can't believe I put the wrong fuel in my beautiful diesel car!" It only took our technician approximately 50 minutes to completely drain the wrong fuel out of the car. He completely purged the fuel system and after that put fresh fuel in the vehicle. The customer was happy and it didn't cost him dealership prices to have the task professionally completed.
