It was after 9 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and me were resting talking about the football, waiting around for the next job of the day to arrive. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Frampton Cotterell and put petrol in her diesel SEAT hire car in error. The unfortunate lady was very affected by the sounds of it, crying "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that such things sadly do happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a protected spot and, as it was only a few minutes away from the office, we could reach the woman right away. The bad fuel was drained and she could return to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive away contented and less apprehensive. A job in Gloucestershire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Gloucestershire we have noticed increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent a result of motorists not being aware of how to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely do not switch on the car - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you may probably have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a significant issue to address in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank may well lead to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both situations pretty quickly.

Take note though that whenever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to parking bay we should be able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

We've been called out to a number of private and business properties in Gloucestershire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in a garage, if we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it for you.
