It was about seven pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were sitting commenting on the recent sports results, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain that day to arrive. Inevitably we had the call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Shatterford and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Volkswagen rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was quite distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that such things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a safe area and, since it was only a few minutes from the office, we were able to get to her almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could go home to the Travelodge she was residing in. Although we got very wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive home contented and not so stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Worcestershire done well in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Worcestershire we are discovering more and more examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of drivers not understanding the way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because the product is primarily ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Give us a call in the event that you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to handle all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important condition to handle in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank will often contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both situations very expediently.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel tank placed in the rear of the garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in Worcestershire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Shatterford (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Worcestershire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) and refill your automobile. They are also able to fix the typical issues that might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Shatterford - Shatterford Petrol in Diesel

A gentleman had stopped just near a road in Shatterford. His MINI motor had stopped operating and he'd no idea what was faulty until he noticed he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he said to us: "I can't believe that I did not know that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He claimed that he had got virtually no rest the evening before and that could have been why.
