It was after 7 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and me were sitting commenting on the recent rugby, ready for the 6th telephone call to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had gone to the BP filling garage in Bredons Norton and put petrol in a diesel Volkswagen hire car. She was somewhat irritated apparently, stating "I just can't believe I've wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I had forgot I was using a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that these things can happen. She managed to get the car to a protected spot and, since it was only a few miles away from the office, we were able to find the lady quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was living in. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away relaxed and a lot less worried. Another fuel drain in Worcestershire done well in my books!

Our Areas of Experience :

Listed here are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Worcestershire we have seen more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of people not being totally sure how to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely take care not to start up the motor - not even to shift it to a parking place. In case you did start the car you will probably need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel may contribute to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not addressed effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases pretty quickly.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container placed in the rear of your premises containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial premises in Worcestershire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a garage, if we are able to access it, we can empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Bredons Norton (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a comprehensive Worcestershire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill your car if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) and fill your car. They are also able to fix any of the most common issues that can come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Bredons Norton - Bredons Norton Fuel Drain

A man had conked out just near a road in Bredons Norton. His Honda car had stopped running and he had no idea what was faulty right up until he realised he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I did not realise that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He stated that he had gotten virtually no sleep the day before and that could have been the reason.
