It was close to seven pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and me were seated there commenting on the footy results, waiting for the sixth job for the day to come in. Eventually we had the phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the BP filling station in Astley and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Mitsubishi hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was rather troubled apparently, crying "I simply can't believe that I've messed up the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that such things sadly can happen. She managed to get the car to a protected area and, seeing that it was only a few miles away from where we were, we could get to the customer right away. The bad fuel was taken out and she could return to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home relaxed and not so worried. A job in Worcestershire well done in my opinion!

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Worcestershire we have discovered a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly a result of people being unsure of the right way to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it immediately. And definitely do not crank the motor - not even to relocate it off of the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you will probably have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important matter to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank is likely to produce idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to parking bay we will be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel tank lying at the rear of your garden full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and business premises in Worcestershire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we can empty it for you.

Out of fuel in Astley (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Worcestershire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill the car any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill up your car or truck. They will be able to deal with the typical troubles that can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Astley - Astley Wrong Fuel in Car

A guy had broken down just off a street in Astley. His Peugeot motor had ceased working and he'd no idea what was awry till he realised he put petrol in his diesel car. He contacted us to get a fuel drain and that is when he explained to us: "I cannot believe that I didn't comprehend that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He claimed that he had got zero sleep the day before and that must have been the reason.
