It was around 6 pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a rainless night, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were resting there talking over the weekend's golf results, prepared for the 8th telephone call that day to arrive. Before long we received a call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Arlebrook and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Mercedes rental car in error. She was pretty irritated it seemed, telling me "I can not believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to worry, and also that things like this do happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a secure area and, seeing as it was just a short distance off from the office, we could reach her without delay. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was living in.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Gloucestershire we are encountering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by people not knowing the way to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In the case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out right away. And definitely don't start the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking place. In cases where you did start the car you may in all probability need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant situation to take care of in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel will likely produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both cases quite easily.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel tank placed at the rear of your garden with old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and industrial premises in Gloucestershire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a shed, if we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Arlebrook (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to refill your automobile. They will be able to deal with the standard troubles that can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
