Our Areas of Expertise:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Gloucestershire we have noticed a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by people not understanding how to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it immediately. And certainly be careful not to switch on the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. In case you did start the vehicle you would likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious situation to take care of in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can easily cause idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both cases fairly simply.

Remember though that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to parking spot we are able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir placed in the back of your premises containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in Gloucestershire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in a storage shed, if we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Lypiatt (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill the car any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) to refill the car. They will be able to deal with any of the common troubles which could go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Lypiatt - Lypiatt Petrol in Diesel

A customer called us from his place on a close in Lypiatt. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a Peugeot) is not running and is making very bad sounds when I flip the key." He confessed that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would fix the problem by putting further Diesel on top. We got there promptly, did the drain and filled him up once more with fresh Diesel. He said that he would be sure to advise people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out promptly.
