It was just after 6 pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a dry day, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ray and I were seated there talking about the weekend's rugby results, waiting for the 6th job to arrive. Finally we got a phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Highfield and put petrol in a diesel Mercedes rental. The unfortunate lady was rather affected apparently, stating "I just can't believe I have ruined the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to fret, also that these things can happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a safe area and, since it was only a few miles from the office, we could arrive at her right away. The bad fuel was drained and she could get back to the hotel she was staying at.

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Gloucestershire we have encountered a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by drivers not being aware of the way to work with it (take note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because the product is primarily ionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And certainly take care not to start the engine - not even to shift it into a parking area. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious issue to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in fuel will contribute to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both circumstances very swiftly.

Be aware however that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a car parking bay we can access the storage and remove the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

We have been called out to many privately owned and business premises in Gloucestershire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a number of containers in a shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.
