Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Gloucestershire we have discovered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent thanks to drivers not being aware of the way to work with it (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And obviously never turn over the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking area. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to deal with in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank is likely to lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both situations pretty quickly.

Take note however that if the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to an automobile parking bay we should be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir lying in the rear of the garden with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in Gloucestershire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Ashchurch (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to fill up your car or truck. They will take care of the normal problems which might accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
