Wrong Fuel In HGV / PSV

Misfuelling incidents involving Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) or Public Service Vehicles (PSVs) can lead to significant disruptions and safety hazards on the road. Here’s what you should do if you encounter the wrong fuel in an HGV or PSV:

    1. Stop the Vehicle Safely: If you suspect that the HGV or PSV has been filled with the wrong fuel, stop the Vehicle safely at the side of the road or in a designated stopping area.
    2. Avoid Starting the Engine: Do not attempt to start the engine, as this could exacerbate the problem and cause damage to the Vehicle’s engine and fuel system.
    3. Contact UK Fuel Doctor: Call UK Fuel Doctor immediately at 020 3771 9222 for professional assistance. Our team of experts specializes in handling misfuelling incidents and can provide the support you need.
    4. Assessment and Recovery: Our trained technicians will assess the situation and develop a plan to remove the incorrect fuel from the Vehicle’s tank. This may involve draining the tank and flushing the fuel system to remove any traces of the wrong fuel.
    5. Preventive Measures: To prevent misfuelling incidents in the future, consider implementing additional safety measures, such as color-coding fuel nozzles or providing training for drivers on proper refueling procedures.
    6. Resume Operations: You can safely resume operations once the Vehicle has been properly serviced and the correct fuel has been added.
