If you've unfortunately put the wrong fuel in your car and right now need a fuel drain you are in all likelihood trawling the net hunting for a swift, dependable, professional and reasonably priced fuel drain company in Hanham Green or Gloucestershire. We are the company for you!

It was just after 6 pm on a Saturday and though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and me were resting talking over the recent golf results, prepared for the 8th telephone call to arrive. Inevitably we got a call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Hanham Green and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Vauxhall rental car by mistake. She was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I can not believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to worry, and that such things unfortunately happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a secure position and, as it was just a short distance away from our van, we could get to her without delay. The bad fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got really wet, it was all worth it to see her drive off satisfied and not so apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Gloucestershire done well in my books!

Our Fields of Expertise:

This is what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

In Gloucestershire we are discovering a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a consequence of people not understanding the right way to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you get in this predicament don?t panic! Call us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination service. Our technicians have got the technical expertise and experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant condition to take care of in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel can easily trigger idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations pretty quickly.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank laying at the rear of your premises containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial premises in Gloucestershire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a storage shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Hanham Green (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill your automobile any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill up your car. They will take care of the common troubles that could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.
