It was around ten pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were resting talking over the recent footy, prepared for the 8th fuel drain that day to come in. Finally we received a phone call from a girl on a business trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Knightwick and put petrol in a diesel Chevrolet rental car. The unfortunate thing was quite distressed it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe that I've messed up the car! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that things like this sadly can happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure position and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from us, we were able to get to her right away. The wrong fuel was drained and she could get back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home relaxed and not so stressed. A job in Worcestershire done well in my books!

Our Areas of Specialties: Services We Offer:

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Worcestershire we are identifying a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree stemming from people not knowing how to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you get in this scenario do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our engineers possess the specialised knowledge and experience to have you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant condition to address in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel can certainly trigger idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both circumstances quite expediently.

Keep in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to an automobile parking bay we will be able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container lying in the back of the garden with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in Worcestershire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even several containers in a storage shed, providing we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Knightwick (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Worcestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill the car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and refill your automobile. They will be able to deal with any of the common issues that might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Knightwick - Knightwick Wrong Fuel Doctor

Last week a driver called us when his Nissan stopped on a road in Knightwick. He had by accident put petrol in his diesel motor and drove to the street before needing to give up. It was in the early hours of the day and our technical engineer, who resides nearby, was with him in about 20 minutes. We managed to remove the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel back in to the car.
