It was before seven pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were resting there talking about the footy results, waiting around for the sixth call of the day to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Holberrow Green and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Mazda rental car. The unfortunate thing was rather affected apparently, telling me "I can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to worry, and also that things like this do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe spot and, as it was just a few miles away from where we were, we were able to find the customer fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive off satisfied and less stressed. One more job in Worcestershire well done in my mind!

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

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Worcestershire we have found progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree stemming from motorists being unsure of the way to use it (be aware: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out asap. And obviously never turn over the engine - not even to shift it to a parking spot. In case you have started the car you would very likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel will often produce idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances very quickly.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be wholly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car or truck parking bay we can access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank laying at the rear of the garden containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and business premises in Worcestershire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in a garage, provided that we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Holberrow Green (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive Worcestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your car if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill your car. They can also take care of the common problems that may come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
