It was just before 7 pm on a Friday and though we were assured a dry night, it had not stopped pouring! Mark and me were seated discussing the recent golf, prepared for the 6th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Before long we had a phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Totnor and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Ford rental by mistake. She was very troubled it seemed, saying "I can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to worry, and also that such things sadly do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe position and, seeing that it was just a few minutes from the office, we were able to find the woman swiftly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could get back to the motel she was living in. Although we got really drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off contented and much less apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in Herefordshire well done in my books!

Our Areas of Specialties:

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Herefordshire we have noticed progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of people not understanding the way to use it (be aware: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Should you discover youself to be in this predicament don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination company. Our technicians possess the technical knowledge and experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious matter to take care of in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol can easily contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both situations quite swiftly.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to parking spot we will be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank laying at the rear of your garden with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and industrial properties in Herefordshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a garage, as long as we can access it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Totnor (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Herefordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up your car. They will fix any of the usual problems which could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.
