Incorrect fuel in your car in Cirencester? You've come to the right place. We are here to aid you in this hour of need and get you going again with our specialist fuel drain service.

It was about 7 pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased raining! James and I were resting going over the weekend's rugby rankings, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain that day to arrive. Eventually we received a phone call from a woman on a company trip who had pulled into the BP filling station in Cirencester and filled petrol in a diesel Fiat hire car. She was very affected by the sounds of it, crying "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to fret, also that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to relocate the car into a secure position and, as it was only a few miles from us, we could reach the customer right away. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could return to the motel she was living in. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home relaxed and less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Gloucestershire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Gloucestershire we have identified a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to drivers being unsure of the way to work with it (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Contact us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to correct different types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant condition to address in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol can potentially contribute to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both cases fairly simply.

Keep in mind however that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near to an automobile parking spot we will be able to reach the storage and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir laying in the back of the garden full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Gloucestershire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in an outbuilding, provided that we can reach it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Cirencester (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to refill your vehicle if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) to refill your vehicle. They can also deal with any of the normal problems which may go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
