It was close to 9 pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a dry night, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Paul and me were sitting commenting on the recent rugby, ready for the sixth call of the day to arrive. Finally we received a call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had gone to the BP filling garage in Hawbridge and filled petrol in a diesel BMW hire car. She was quite distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe that I've messed up the car! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to worry, and that things like this sadly can happen. She managed to get the car to a secure spot and, since it was only a short distance from our van, we could get to the lady fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could return to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive home calm and a lot less worried. One more fuel drain in Worcestershire well done in my mind!

Do you or your employees usually misfuel your car? We can solve any related issues.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Worcestershire we have identified increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent stemming from drivers not being totally sure the right way to work with it (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And of course take care not to crank the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would very likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely an important matter to handle in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can easily lead to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations rather easily.

You should know though that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near to a vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of your garden containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and industrial properties in Worcestershire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Hawbridge (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Worcestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your vehicle if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up your car. They will be able to handle any of the normal troubles that can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

We were able to remove the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel yet again in the vehicle. "Thank you for your prompt response, especially at 4 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."
