It was just after seven pm on a Saturday and though we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and me were sitting discussing the weekend's rugby, at the ready for the 6th call to arrive. Before long we received the call from a woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Crossways and put the wrong fuel in a diesel SEAT hire car in error. She was rather affected by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to fret, and also that things like this unfortunately can happen. She had managed to get the car into a safe space and, because it was no more than a few miles off from our van, we were able to arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got really drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off satisfied and less stressed. One more job in Gloucestershire well done in my opinion!

Our Fields of Expertise:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Gloucestershire we have identified progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly caused by drivers not knowing how to to make use of (please note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And definitely take care not to start up the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may most likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Having water in fuel may bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both cases pretty easily.

Remember that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Wrong Fuel Assist Crossways - Crossways Wrong Fuel

I had appreciated a wonderful afternoon cycling on the weekend and was feeling contented with myself the next working day as I set off to assist a new family vacationing in Crossways. They stopped after filling petrol into their Kia, and were approximately an hour away. I arrived at their location and laughed as I heard to the woman telling her spouse off for being so confused. "Precisely how could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this happens continuously in Gloucestershire and that it is absolutely nothing to worry about, nevertheless he yet still got his ear bent. I felt genuine sympathy for the chap. Anyways, I drained out all of the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive away I mouthed hasta la vista and considered what my wife would say to me if perhaps I made the very same mistake... I would never hear the end of it!
