These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Gloucestershire we are finding more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly thanks to drivers not knowing how to use it (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And definitely be careful not to start up the engine - not even to move it into a parking spot. In cases where you have started the vehicle you may likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to take care of in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel can easily result in idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both circumstances pretty simply.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close to a vehicle parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank laying in the back of your premises containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Gloucestershire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in an outbuilding, provided that we can get to it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Chipmans Platt (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill your automobile in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) and refill the car. They can also fix the standard issues that can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
