Vehicle Misfuel Avonmouth - Avonmouth Vehicle Misfuel
A rather concerned customer phoned us from the Shell filling station at Bristol to tell us that he had put unleaded in his diesel BMW; he wasn't totally certain how he'd managed to do it. We assured him it was absolutely no hassle and before long had our fuel drainer out to him to clean the contaminated fuel from his car. Having purged the contaminated fuel, he was subsequently back rolling again. He told us; "I am honestly dumbfounded I put the wrong fuel in my car. And the man who arrived to undertake the fuel drain was really pleasant - he did not make me seem like an idiot."

It was about 5 pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not given up on raining! Dan and I were seated going over the tennis rankings, waiting around for the sixth call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we received a call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Avonmouth and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Toyota hire car. She was very agitated it seemed, crying "I can not believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that such things unfortunately do happen. She was able to move the car to a protected area and, because it was only a short distance from the office, we were able to find the customer rather quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive home contented and much less stressed. Another fuel drain in Bristol well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel
Throughout Bristol we have encountered progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by people not knowing the way to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the automobile.
Well, what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.
In the event that you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it at once. And certainly never start the car - not even to relocate it away from the pump. If you did start the car you would probably need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.
Water contaminated fuel
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a significant matter to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol will contribute to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both circumstances rather expediently.
Take note however that if the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.
Marine Fuel Drains
If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Have a fuel tank lying at the rear of the garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and business properties in Bristol for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it.

A lady employed in Avonmouth called us as soon as she had managed to get her wrong fuelled automobile to work. She had filled unleaded in her diesel Audi and, like many people before her, assumed that she would be able to simply fill her tank with diesel and it would be okay. The car was coughing and then it stopped when she arrived at the the front of her work. We soon went to work on the fuel drain after she called and had it sorted in an hour or so while she was in the office. She came out afterwards and thanked us stating, "I'm very pleased you fixed my car."

He confessed that he put petrol in his diesel car but then thought he would resolve the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, did the drain and filled it up once again with fresh Diesel. He said he would be certain to advise people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to have it drained right away.
