Our Fields of Expertise: Services We Offer:

Do you or your employees often misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any related issues.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Gloucestershire we are noticing increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially thanks to people being unsure of the right way to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out asap. And definitely don't crank the vehicle - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the car you may most likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in fuel will likely trigger idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both cases fairly easily.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have 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 dry-docked, or situated close to parking spot we can reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

We've been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial premises in Gloucestershire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a shed, providing we can access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) and fill your vehicle. They will be able to fix any of the most common problems which could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

A lady working in Saintbridge phoned us after she had managed to get her wrong fuelled car to her office. She had filled unleaded in her diesel Fiat and, like plenty prior to her, thought that she would be able to simply fill her car with diesel and it would be alright. The vehicle was coughing and then it cut out when she got to the entrance of her work. We quickly started on the fuel drain after she called and had it sorted inside an hour while she was in the office. She came out soon after and thanked us stating, "I'm very delighted you sorted my car."

He confessed that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then reckoned he would solve the problem by putting more Diesel on top. We got there quickly, did the fuel drain and filled him up once more with untainted Diesel. He told us he would be sure to advise people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to have it drained immediately.
