It was close to seven pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! James and I were resting talking over the golf, waiting around for the sixth call that day to arrive. Before long we got the call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Brimps Hill and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Lexus rental car in error. The poor thing was pretty distressed it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to worry, also that these things sadly do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure position and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance off from us, we could find the customer right away.

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue Contamination

In Gloucestershire we are noticing a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of drivers being unsure of the right way to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously take care not to turn over the motor - not even to move it to a parking place. In the instance that you have started the car you will probably need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel will often contribute to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both situations rather simply.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car parking spot we will be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel container placed at the back of the garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and business premises in Gloucestershire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even numerous drums in a garage, assuming that we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

We're able to help to fill up the car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home.
