It was before 8 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Dan and I were seated there talking about the sports, at the ready for the 8th job that day to arrive. Finally we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Dowles and filled petrol in a diesel Smart rental car by mistake. The poor lady was fairly distressed it seemed, stating "I can not believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that such things regrettably happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a protected space and, as it was no more than a short distance away from the office, we could find the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could return to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive off calm and much less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Worcestershire well done in my mind!

Below are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Worcestershire we are noticing increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part due to motorists not being totally sure the way to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find yourself in this predicament do not panic! Call us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination business. Our technicians have got the specialised skills and working experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a significant matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel may contribute to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both cases very swiftly.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to an automobile parking spot we can access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

We have been called out to numerous domestic and business properties in Worcestershire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even several drums in a garage, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Dowles (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full Worcestershire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up the car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) and refill your car. They will be able to handle the standard troubles that could go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
