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

AdBlue Contamination

All over Gloucestershire we have identified more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent caused by drivers not knowing the way to work with it (be aware: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into 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 to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it immediately. And most certainly never start up the car - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you will most likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly an important matter to address in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel can certainly bring about idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both circumstances fairly expediently.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir lying in the back of the garden containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and business premises in Gloucestershire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Wrong Fuel in Car Hampen - Hampen Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had appreciated a perfect day hiking on my off day and felt cheerful the following morning as I headed out to assist a new family away in Hampen. They conked out after filling petrol into their Lexus, and they were approximately an hour away. I turned up at their position and smiled to myself as I listened to the lady telling off her partner for turning out to be so stupid. "Exactly how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I wanted to explain that this kind of thing takes place on daily basis in Gloucestershire and that it is nothing at all to get worried about, nonetheless he still had an earful. Poor lad. At any rate, I extracted all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted good-bye and thought about what her indoors would ask me if ever I did the same thing... I would never ever live it down!
