It was just before six pm on a Monday and while we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and me were sitting there discussing the rugby results, ready for the sixth job for the day to arrive. Eventually we got a phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Coalway and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Lexus hire car by mistake. The poor lady was very troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that such things unfortunately often happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure spot and, seeing that it was just a few miles away from where we were, we could arrive at the customer rather quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive away satisfied and a lot less stressed. A misfuel correction in Gloucestershire well done in my mind!

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

AdBlue Contamination

In Gloucestershire we are finding more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly caused by drivers not knowing the right way to to make use of (important: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And absolutely do not start the car - not even to relocate it into a parking area. In case you have started the car you would probably need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally an important issue to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel can easily lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances quite quickly.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking bay we can reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel tank sitting in the back of your premises full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial properties in Gloucestershire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a shed, assuming that we can reach it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Coalway (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a comprehensive Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill your automobile any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) to fill your car. They are also able to fix any of the common issues which might come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Coalway - Coalway Fuel Removal

I'd had a terrific evening golfing during my day off and felt delighted with myself the following working day as I was on the way to assist a new family vacationing in Coalway. They'd stopped after inserting petrol into their Mitsubishi, and the car was about half an hour away. I arrived at their position and laughed to myself as I listened to the gal berating her partner for being so stupid. "Just how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I wanted to tell her that this comes to pass constantly in Gloucestershire and that it's actually nothing to get worried about, and yet he all the same got an ear bashing by his missus. Unlucky lad. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some correct fuel. Watching them drive off I mouthed good bye and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I'd personally never ever live it down!
