It was just before five pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were sitting talking about the recent footy, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain that day to come in. Finally we received the phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Pensax and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel MG hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was quite irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a secure area and, as it was no more than a few miles away from where we were, we could arrive at the lady quickly. The wrong fuel was removed and she could get back to the motel she was residing in. Although we got really wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive off relaxed and a lot less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Worcestershire done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Experience :

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Worcestershire we are identifying more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly a result of drivers not being totally sure how to use it (be aware: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And most certainly do not switch on the engine - not even to shift it into a parking area. In case you have started the vehicle you may in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important condition to take care of in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol will often lead to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out fully, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both situations fairly swiftly.

Keep in mind however that if the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container in the back of the garden full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in Worcestershire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a shed, as long as we are able to access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Pensax (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Worcestershire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) to refill your car or truck. They will be able to deal with the normal troubles that may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Pensax - Pensax Petrol in Diesel

A motorist had stopped just near a street in Pensax. His Peugeot motor had ceased running and he had no idea what was awry right up until he realised he had put petrol in his diesel car. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he told us: "I can't believe that I didn't detect that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got no rest the night before and that must have been the key reason why.
