It was about seven pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry day, it had not stopped raining! Brian and me were resting there discussing the weekend's golf results, waiting around for the sixth fuel drain for the day to come in. Finally we received a call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the BP filling station in Ruardean Hill and put petrol in her diesel Mazda rental in error. She was rather troubled apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe I've wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, and that such things happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a safe spot and, since it was just a few miles off from our van, we were able to get to the lady right away. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was living at. Although we got very soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive away satisfied and less worried. A job in Gloucestershire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Gloucestershire we are noticing an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of drivers not being totally sure the right way to work with it (remember: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained immediately. And certainly never switch on the car - not even to shift it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you would likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank can potentially produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both circumstances pretty simply.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near to a car or truck parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir laying in the rear of your premises full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and business properties in Gloucestershire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Ruardean Hill (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill the car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill your car or truck. They will take care of any of the most common problems which may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
