This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Gloucestershire we are finding an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially thanks to people not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (take note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because the product is mainly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it immediately. And most certainly never crank the motor - not even to move it into a parking bay. If you did start the vehicle you would likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant condition to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank can easily contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both situations quite swiftly.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

We have been called out to several private and industrial properties in Gloucestershire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages.

Petrol in Diesel Cowhill - Cowhill Wrong Fuel Drain

I'd had a fantastic day golfing on my holiday and felt pleased the following day as I set out to help a new family who were vacationing in Cowhill. They had pulled over after filling diesel into their Vauxhall, and the car was about half an hour away. I got there at their location and smiled to myself while I listened to the lady telling off her man for turning out to be so silly. "How could you conceivably find a way to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this situation happens all the time in Gloucestershire and that it's truly absolutely nothing to worry about, however he still got an ear bashing by his wife. Poor guy. Anyhow, I drained the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some proper fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted goodbye and considered what her indoors would say to me if ever I did the very same thing... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
