It was around eight pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were seated going over the footy results, waiting around for the next job of the day to come in. Finally we got a call from a woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Ryton and filled petrol in her diesel Dacia hire car in error. She was rather agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I still cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She was able to move the car to a safe spot and, because it was no more than a few minutes away from the office, we could arrive at the woman without delay. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging at. Even though we got really wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home relaxed and a lot less worried. A misfuel correction in Gloucestershire done well in my mind!

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

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Gloucestershire we are discovering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a consequence of people not knowing the way to work with it (pay attention: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And definitely never start up the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. If you have started the car you will probably have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to handle in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank can easily lead to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations rather swiftly.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel container lying in the back of your garden full of aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial properties in Gloucestershire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in a garage, provided that we can access it, we can certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Ryton (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill the car in cases where you are having difficulty on a 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 fuel (bought at cost) to refill your automobile. They are also able to take care of any of the most common troubles which can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Ryton - Ryton Vehicle Misfuel

I'd had a perfect day fishing during my off day and felt pleased the following day as I set off to aid a young family on vacation in Ryton. They'd broken down after inserting petrol in their Volkswagen, and were around half an hour's drive away. I emerged at their car and smirked while I heard to the woman telling her hubby off for actually being so daft. "How could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I wanted to tell her that this kind of thing happens frequently in Gloucestershire and that it's nothing to be concerned about, but he yet still got an earful. Poor chap. Anyway, I removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some proper fuel. While they drove away I shouted farewell and considered what my missus would do to me if I made the same error... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!
