It was around 9 pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and me were sitting there discussing the recent sports results, prepared for the 6th telephone call that day to arrive. Inevitably we had a phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Eckington and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Skoda lease car by mistake. She was quite agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to fret, plus that such things regrettably happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a protected position and, seeing that it was just a few minutes away from our van, we could reach the lady rather quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she could return to the motel she was residing in. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive away calm and less worried. Yet another fuel drain in Worcestershire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Worcestershire we are encountering progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of motorists not knowing how to use it (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the car.

So, what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained immediately. And most certainly take care not to start up the engine - not even to move it to a parking place. In the event that you have started the vehicle you would most likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel can certainly produce idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both circumstances very swiftly.

Remember that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank laying at the rear of your premises containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and industrial properties in Worcestershire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in a storage shed, as long as we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Eckington (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Worcestershire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your vehicle any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) to refill your car. They will be able to deal with any of the typical issues that can go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Eckington - Eckington Wrong Fuel in Car

A customer called us from his place on a close in Eckington. He said, "My car (a Honda) is not running and is generating terrible sounds when I flip the key." He said that he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would solve the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We got there quickly, performed the drain and filled it up once again with fresh Diesel. He told us after that he would be certain to educate people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to get it cleaned out promptly.
