In due time we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Tormarton and filled petrol in a diesel Audi rental in error.

Our Areas of Competency :

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Gloucestershire we have found an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to people not understanding the way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained immediately. And of course never start the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. In the event that you did start the vehicle you may most likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in fuel is going to produce idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both situations pretty expediently.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to an automobile parking spot we should be able to access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container lying at the back of your premises containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and business premises in Gloucestershire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even several containers in a storage shed, if we can reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

We are able to get out to fill up your car if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home.

Wrong Fuel Assist Tormarton - Tormarton Fuel Removal

I had enjoyed a perfect evening cycling during my afternoon off and felt contented with myself the next day as I was on the way to help a young family away in Tormarton. They had stopped after filling diesel in their Peugeot, and they were around an hour away. I turned up at their car and smiled as I heard to the girl telling her man off for actually being so stupid. "Just how could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this occurs frequently in Gloucestershire and that it is nothing at all to fret about, nevertheless he in spite of everything had an earful by his wife. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all of the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. While they drove off I mouthed goodbye and pondered on what my wife would tell me if I made the very same blunder... I'd under no circumstances live it down!
