It was after five pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't given up on pouring! Brian and me were sitting discussing the weekend's footy rankings, ready for the next fuel drain for the day to arrive. Finally we had a call from a woman on a company trip who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Bricklehampton and put petrol in her diesel Mitsubishi hire car. The poor lady was somewhat affected apparently, stating "I can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to worry, also that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a secure position and, seeing that it was only a short distance from the office, we could find the customer rather quickly. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to return to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home contented and not so concerned. Another fuel drain in Worcestershire done well in my books!

We can help you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Worcestershire we are encountering more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially as a consequence of people not understanding the right way to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As the product is predominantly ionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it asap. And most definitely never start up the car - not even to move it to a parking area. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will probably need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important condition to take care of in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol will likely contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances fairly expediently.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be wholly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank sitting in the rear of your premises full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in Worcestershire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even some containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can reach it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Bricklehampton (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Worcestershire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill the car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill up your vehicle. They will be able to deal with any of the most common problems that could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Bricklehampton - Bricklehampton Fuel Drain

A week ago a driver called us when his Volkswagen ground to a halt on a street in Bricklehampton. He had unintentionally put the wrong fuel in the diesel car and had managed to drive so far as the street before being forced to stop. It was actually early in the day and our technical engineer, who stays close by, arrived with him in approximately ten minutes. We were able to remove the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel back into the car. "Thank you for your prompt response, particularly at 5 a.m., I truly appreciate it."
