It was close to six pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it had not stopped pouring! Ray and I were sitting commenting on the football rankings, prepared for the next telephone call to come in. Eventually we had the call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Driffield and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Skoda lease car. The unfortunate thing was pretty distressed it seemed, stating "I still cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was running a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably do happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a secure position and, because it was only a few miles away from the office, we were able to arrive at the woman fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home calm and less concerned. One more job in Gloucestershire well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Competence :

Below are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Gloucestershire we are finding increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a result of people not being aware of the right way to to make use of (be aware: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Because the product is primarily deionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you get in this position do not panic! Call us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination service. Our engineers have the practical know-how and experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant condition to address in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank is going to trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both cases very swiftly.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir at the rear of the garden containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and commercial properties in Gloucestershire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps several drums in a garage, provided that we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Driffield (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill your car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill your vehicle. They will deal with any of the most common troubles which may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Driffield - Driffield Wrong Fuel Drain

A couple weeks ago a customer phoned us because his Volkswagen stopped along a road in Driffield. He had unintentionally put petrol in the diesel vehicle and drove to the road before needing to halt. It was yet in the early hours of the morning and our technician, who stays nearby, was with him in about a quarter hour. We were able to get rid of the wrong fuel and put clean diesel once again into the vehicle. "Thank you for your fast response, especially at 3 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."
