It was around 9 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and I were sitting there discussing the footy results, waiting for the next fuel drain of the day to come in. In due time we got the call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Nimlet and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Mazda lease car in error. She was somewhat irritated apparently, stating "I still cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to fret, and that such things unfortunately can happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a secure area and, because it was no more than a few minutes from the office, we could reach her quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was staying at.

Our Fields of Specialties:

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

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Gloucestershire we are noticing more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from people not knowing the way to to make use of (be aware: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will handle all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant condition to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can potentially contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both situations very quickly.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel tank lying at the rear of your garden full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial properties in Gloucestershire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even several containers in a storage shed, if we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Nimlet (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill your automobile. They will be able to fix any of the usual problems that could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
