It was around 6 pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a dry day, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Mark and me were seated discussing the golf rankings, at the ready for the 6th telephone call of the day to come in. Finally we received a call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Harbours Hill and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel MG hire car. The unfortunate thing was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I still cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was using a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that things like this can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe space and, seeing that it was only a few miles away from where we were, we could reach her right away. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home calm and less anxious. One more job in Worcestershire well done in my opinion!

Do you or your drivers frequently misfuel your car? We can fix any connected problems.

AdBlue Contamination

In Worcestershire we have encountered more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly as a result of motorists being unsure of the way to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And most certainly do not start the motor - not even to move it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually an important condition to deal with in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol can easily cause idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied properly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases very quickly.

Be aware that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the storage and remove the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container laying at the rear of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial properties in Worcestershire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a garage, as long as we can access it, we are able to empty it.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Harbours Hill (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Worcestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up the car any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to fill your car or truck. They will deal with the typical problems that might accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Harbours Hill - Harbours Hill Wrong Fuel Doctor

A man called us from his house on a street in Harbours Hill. He said, "My car (a Fiat) is not running and is generating dreadful sounds when I turn the ignition." He admitted that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then believed he would remedy the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We got there promptly, did the fuel drain and filled him up once again with clean Diesel. He said he'd be certain to educate people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to get it cleaned out right away.
