It was close to 5 pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a dry day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Mark and I were relaxing going over the golf, ready for the 6th call that day to come in. Eventually we received the call from a girl on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Elcocks Brook and put petrol in her diesel Suzuki rental car in error. She was somewhat distressed apparently, stating "I can not believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to fret, plus that these things do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a secure space and, seeing as it was only a few minutes away from our van, we could arrive at the customer swiftly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could once again go back to the hotel she was living at. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off calm and not so stressed. Another job in Worcestershire done well in my books!

Services We Offer:

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Worcestershire we are discovering an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent due to people not understanding the way to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it at once. And absolutely do not crank the engine - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to address in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel will contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not remedied correctly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both cases pretty swiftly.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel container in the rear of your garden containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and business premises in Worcestershire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in a garage, assuming that we can access it, we could certainly drain it.

Run out of fuel in Elcocks Brook (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Worcestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill the car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) and fill up your automobile. They are also able to handle the standard troubles that might come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.
