It was after six pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it had not given up on raining! Ray and me were relaxing talking about the recent rugby results, prepared for the seventh job of the day to arrive. Eventually we got the phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had gone to the Esso filling station in Pirton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Porsche hire car. The poor thing was somewhat troubled apparently, saying "I simply can't believe I have wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to be concerned, also that things like this sadly often happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected position and, as it was just a short distance away from our van, we could find the lady rather quickly. The wrong fuel was removed and she was able to return to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact we got really wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away satisfied and less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Worcestershire well done in my mind!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Worcestershire we have seen increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree a result of people not being aware of the way to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it right away. And definitely never switch on the engine - not even to move it into a parking bay. If you did start the car you would likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important issue to handle in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel will bring about idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations pretty simply.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be wholly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near to a car parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your premises containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial premises in Worcestershire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even numerous drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Pirton (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Worcestershire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your automobile in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) and fill up your car or truck. They can also fix any of the common problems that can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Pirton - Pirton Wrong Fuel

I had appreciated a great evening hiking during the weekend and was feeling pleased with myself the following morning as I set off to aid a young couple holidaying in Pirton. They'd conked out after filling the wrong fuel into their Fiat, and were about an hour's drive away. I arrived at their location and smiled to myself while I heard to the woman telling her hubby off for actually being so stupid. "Just how could you even be able to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this problem happens all the time in Worcestershire and that it's absolutely nothing to fret about, nonetheless he all the same had his ear bent. I felt sorry for the lad. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the right fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted bon voyage and pondered on what my missus would say to me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!
