Our Services:

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Gloucestershire we are discovering more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part as a result of drivers not being totally sure the right way to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to one another on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will take care of different types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank can potentially trigger idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both circumstances very quickly.

Bear in mind however that if the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir at the rear of the garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and business properties in Gloucestershire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a shed, as long as we can access it, we are able to drain it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Caudle Green (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) to refill your car or truck. They are also able to handle any of the most common issues which may go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Caudle Green - Caudle Green Wrong Fuel Drain

I had a fantastic afternoon cycling during my afternoon off and felt pleased with myself the next day as I headed out to help a young couple vacationing in Caudle Green. They'd broken down after putting diesel into their Smart, and they were roughly an hour away. I turned up at their car and laughed to myself while I listened to the gal telling off her husband for actually being so foolish. "How could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this takes place regularly in Gloucestershire and that it is nothing at all to be concerned about, even so he all the same had an ear bashing. Unlucky lad. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed all the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive off I waved goodbye and considered what her indoors would do to me if I made the very same error... I'd never live it down!
