It was after ten pm on a Saturday and though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it had not stopped pouring! Ray and me were sitting talking over the weekend's golf results, prepared for the seventh job to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Upper Broxwood and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Smart rental car in error. The poor lady was fairly agitated apparently, telling me "I still cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to fret, also that these things regrettably do happen. She managed to get the car into a safe spot and, since it was no more than a few miles from our van, we could reach the lady rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive away calm and much less concerned. Another job in Herefordshire well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Competence :

Below are our top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Herefordshire we are discovering progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent thanks to people not understanding the way to use it (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Since the product is mostly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And most certainly do not turn over the car - not even to relocate it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the car you may almost certainly need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious condition to deal with in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel is likely to produce idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of properly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations fairly swiftly.

Be aware though that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel reservoir in the rear of your garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial premises in Herefordshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in an outbuilding, if we can access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Upper Broxwood (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Herefordshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up your car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) to fill your vehicle. They will take care of the most common troubles that could come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

A gentleman had stopped just off a street in Upper Broxwood. His Mazda motor had ceased functioning and he had no clue what was faulty until he noticed he had put petrol in his diesel car. He rang us to get a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I can not believe that I did not realise that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had got zero rest the night before and that could have been the key reason why.
