Our Areas of Experience :

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Gloucestershire we are encountering increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by people not understanding the right way to use it (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In the case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And most certainly do not switch on the car - not even to relocate it to a parking area. In case you have started the car you will probably need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol will likely lead to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both circumstances pretty simply.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir laying in the back of your garden full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and commercial properties in Gloucestershire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even several containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Coldharbour (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill the car if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to refill the car. They will be able to handle the common troubles which may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Coldharbour - Coldharbour Wrong Fuel Doctor

A man contacted us from his house on a street in Coldharbour. He said, "My vehicle (a MG) is not starting and is creating very bad sounds when I flip the ignition." He admitted that he put unleaded in his diesel car but then reckoned he would resolve the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We got there quickly, performed the fuel drain and filled it up once again with untainted Diesel. He told us that he would be absolutely sure to tell people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to have it drained right away.
