Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue Contamination

In Gloucestershire we are encountering a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of people not being totally sure the right way to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it asap. And obviously don't crank the car - not even to shift it off the pump. In cases where you did start the car you may most likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant issue to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel is likely to produce idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both cases fairly simply.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to parking spot we will be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

We have been called out to a number of private and business properties in Gloucestershire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages.

Fuel Drain Hempsted - Hempsted Fuel Removal

I enjoyed a wonderful day fishing on the weekend and felt contented the next morning as I set out to help a new family who were away in Hempsted. They'd stopped after putting diesel into their Vauxhall, and they were about half an hour's travel away. I turned up at their car and laughed to myself while I listened to the wife telling her man off for being so foolish. "Just how could you even manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to explain that this goes on on a regular basis in Gloucestershire and that it's in reality absolutely nothing to get worried about, nonetheless he all the same had an earful by his better half. I felt sorry for the lad. Anyway, I removed the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive off I waved so long and pondered on what my wife would ask me if perhaps I made the same blunder... I would personally never ever live it down!
