It was close to 9 pm on a Monday and while we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and me were sitting there commenting on the recent rugby rankings, waiting for the seventh fuel drain that day to come in. Finally we received the phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the Esso filling station in Uckinghall and put petrol in a diesel Volvo lease car by mistake. She was somewhat troubled apparently, crying "I can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that these things regrettably often happen. She was able to get the car to a secure space and, seeing as it was only a few minutes from our van, we could reach the customer almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could go home to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive off satisfied and much less stressed. Yet another job in Worcestershire done well in my mind!

We are willing to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue Contamination

How to handle it if you may have put Adblue into your Diesel fuel tank? It is actually damaging to your automobile's fuel system, particularly any time you run the engine with Adblue in your fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been started up the Adblue will be pulled into your fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, bringing about disastrous and costly problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously take care not to start up the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In case you have started the car you would in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to handle in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel will cause idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both circumstances fairly quickly.

Be aware however that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a car or truck parking bay we can gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir sitting in the back of your garden full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and business properties in Worcestershire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in a shed, providing we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Uckinghall (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a full Worcestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill the car any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) to fill the car. They will take care of the standard problems which can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Uckinghall - Uckinghall Wrong Fuel Assist

Yesterday a gentleman telephoned us right after his Audi cut out in the middle of a street in Uckinghall. He had mistakenly put unleaded in his diesel vehicle and drove so far as the street before being forced to halt. It was yet in the early hours of the day and our technical engineer, who lives close by, arrived with him in about 15 minutes. We managed to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel back in the vehicle. "Thank you for your prompt response, especially at 3 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."
