It was just after seven pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were seated commenting on the recent golf, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain of the day to arrive. Inevitably we got the call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Bagpath and filled petrol in a diesel rugged Mitsubishi L300 lease car. She was fairly agitated it seemed, saying "I still can't believe that I have messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to fret, plus that things like this do happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a protected position and, as it was no more than a short distance from us, we were able to get to her right away. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got very wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive home satisfied and a lot less concerned. Another job in Gloucestershire done well in my mind!

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir placed in the back of your garden with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in Gloucestershire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Gloucestershire we have encountered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to motorists not knowing the way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. If you find you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it at once. And most definitely never start up the motor - not even to move it from the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you would probably need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Call us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will handle all types of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in GL5 Postcode - Bagpath Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a good night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 on a sunny Tuesday and I was on my way to help an older sweetheart who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel trusty VW GLI in Bagpath. I had been informed she had left the filling station and broken down in a backwater lane en route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got the location punched straight into the Satnav and was with her in less than an hour. I arrived at the car and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. As I was doing the drain she told me, "I'm becoming fairly forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the car taking diesel because I had only just got it a few days ago after my previous one, which I had for more than thirty years, eventually gave up the ghost". I completed the drain and she offered me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. Such a delightful Gloucestershire woman!

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
