It was about seven pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Mark and me were seated commenting on the recent tennis rankings, ready for the seventh telephone call that day to arrive. Before long we got the phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Alvechurch and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Chevrolet hire car in error. She was rather agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe I've messed up the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!"

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Worcestershire we have seen a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly a result of drivers not being aware of the way to use it (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the event that you discover youself to be in this situation don?t fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our engineers have the practical competence and working experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly an important matter to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel will often bring about idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases quite easily.

Be aware that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will be totally water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a car parking spot we will be able to access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of your garden with aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and commercial premises in Worcestershire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a garage, provided that we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run out of fuel in Alvechurch (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Worcestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill the car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home.

Petrol in Diesel Alvechurch - Alvechurch Fuel Removal

I had a great evening cycling on the weekend and felt satisfied with myself the next working day as I set out to help a new family who were on holiday in Alvechurch. They had stopped after inserting diesel into their MG, and were approximately an hour's drive away. I turned up at their car and laughed while I listened to the woman chastising her husband for actually being so foolish. "How could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I wanted to clarify that this kind of thing goes on quite frequently in Worcestershire and that it is nothing at all to be concerned about, even so he in spite of everything had an earful by his wife. Unfortunate chap. Anyhow, I removed all of the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the right fuel. Watching them drive away I waved goodbye and considered what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I made the very same error... I would never ever live it down!
