It was before 8 pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and me were seated talking over the weekend's tennis rankings, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain to come in. Eventually we had the phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Bournside and filled petrol in a diesel BMW hire car by mistake. She was somewhat agitated it seemed, crying "I still can't believe that I have ruined the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to worry, and that such things regrettably do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a secure position and, as it was just a few miles off from the office, we were able to find the woman quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could return to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home satisfied and much less concerned. A job in Gloucestershire done well in my books!

Services We Offer:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

All over Gloucestershire we have found progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to motorists not being totally sure how to work with it (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the car.

So, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And certainly take care not to start up the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. In the instance that you did start the car you may in all probability need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to handle in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel is going to lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both situations pretty easily.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir lying in the rear of the garden containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and commercial premises in Gloucestershire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in an outbuilding, providing we can reach it, we are able to drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Bournside (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill your automobile any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) and refill your car. They can also handle any of the typical troubles which may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.
