It was after six pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and me were resting there talking about the recent footy, waiting for the 8th fuel drain that day to arrive. Eventually we received a phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Windrush and put petrol in a diesel Honda rental car. The unfortunate lady was pretty agitated apparently, saying "I can't believe I have wrecked the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that things like this unfortunately happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a secure area and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance off from the office, we could arrive at her fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was living in. Although we got really wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away contented and not so apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Gloucestershire well done in my mind!

Offered Services: Our Specialties:

Here are the top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

What you can do if you may have poured Adblue into a Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a liquid made out of a mix of high-purity ionized water (67.5%) and urea (32.5%).Adblue is definitely devastating to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly if you have had the engine running with Adblue in your diesel fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been started the Adblue will likely be pulled into your fuel lines and will immediately begin to crystalise, bringing about serious and expensive damage to your automobile's fuel system.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it immediately. And most certainly take care not to crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking place. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you will likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to take care of in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol can easily bring about idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations very quickly.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank lying at the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in Gloucestershire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even several containers in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Windrush (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and fill your car or truck. They will fix any of the usual problems which may come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Windrush - Windrush Wrong Fuel

I appreciated a terrific evening golfing during the weekend and was feeling delighted with myself the next day as I was en route to assist a young couple who were holidaying in Windrush. They'd stopped after filling petrol in their Honda, and the car was approximately an hour away. I got there at their position and laughed to myself while I listened to the lady chastising her partner for actually being so confused. "Exactly how could you actually manage to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to clarify that this takes place everyday in Gloucestershire and that it's nothing at all to stress about, and yet he still got his ear bent. Unlucky boy. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some right fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved bon voyage and considered what my wife would say to me in the event that I did the very same thing... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!
