It was around eight pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring! Paul and I were sitting there talking over the weekend's football results, waiting around for the 8th call that day to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Charfield Green and filled petrol in a diesel Hyundai hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was very affected apparently, saying "I can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to worry, and that such things often happen. She was able to relocate the car to a secure space and, because it was just a few minutes from our van, we could find her rather quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she could get back to the hotel she was lodging in. Although we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. A fuel drain in Gloucestershire well done in my books!

Services We Offer:

Listed below are our top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Gloucestershire we are discovering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a result of motorists not being aware of the way to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained asap. And most definitely don't switch on the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking place. Assuming you did start the car you will in all probability need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a serious situation to deal with in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel will produce idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both situations pretty expediently.

Remember though that if the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank placed at the rear of the garden containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in Gloucestershire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in a garage, as long as we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Charfield Green (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your automobile any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) to fill the car. They will handle any of the usual troubles which may come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.
