It was just before five pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and me were resting going over the tennis, waiting for the seventh telephone call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Cookhill and put the wrong fuel in her diesel MG hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was fairly distressed it seemed, crying "I just can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to worry, plus that things like this unfortunately often happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a protected position and, because it was only a few minutes off from our van, we were able to get to the lady without delay. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could go home to the motel she was lodging at. Although we got very wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home calm and a lot less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Worcestershire done well in my mind!

Our Services:

This is what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

What you should do in the event that you may have poured Adblue in a Diesel tank? AdBlue is a chemical that is made out of a mixture of urea and deionized water (67.5%).Adblue is certainly harmful to your car's fuel system, specifically in cases where you started the car with Adblue in your tank. Once the engine has been started up the Adblue will likely be dragged into the fuel lines and will swiftly start to crystalise, resulting in devastating and costly damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely don't crank the vehicle - not even to move it from the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would probably need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant issue to handle in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel will often result in idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both circumstances pretty easily.

Remember that if the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to an automobile parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank laying at the back of your garden with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in Worcestershire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Cookhill (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Worcestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill your car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) to refill your vehicle. They will be able to handle the standard problems that can come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.
