It was around 5 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! James and me were relaxing discussing the weekend's rugby rankings, prepared for the 6th job of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had a call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Howsen and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Hyundai hire car by mistake. She was somewhat distressed it seemed, crying "I simply can't believe that I have messed up the car! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, and that these things can happen. She managed to move the car into a safe space and, since it was just a short distance from the office, we were able to reach the lady almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could get back to the motel she was living in. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive away relaxed and a lot less stressed. One more job in Worcestershire done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Expertise:

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

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Worcestershire we have found a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from people not understanding the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Phone us if it turns out you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily handle all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious condition to handle in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol can easily lead to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations pretty easily.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking spot we can access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir laying at the back of your premises full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and business properties in Worcestershire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Howsen (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Worcestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your automobile any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill your vehicle. They will be able to deal with any of the most common problems which may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Howsen - Howsen Wrong Fuel Drain

A gentleman called us from Howsen to state that he had stupidly pumped the wrong fuel into his diesel BMW. "What a nightmare! How could I put the wrong fuel in my nice diesel car!" It only took our fuel drainer roughly 50 minutes to fully drain the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. He carefully flushed the fuel system and put clean diesel in the vehicle. The customer was happy and it hadn't cost him dealer rates to have the work properly done.
