It was about 8 pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Paul and me were seated commenting on the golf results, waiting around for the 8th job that day to come in. Finally we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Coln St Aldwyns and put petrol in her diesel Mitsubishi rental in error. The unfortunate thing was very irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that such things happen.

Our Services:

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Gloucestershire we are noticing increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of motorists not understanding the way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out right away. And most definitely take care not to switch on the engine - not even to move it off of the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you may probably have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important situation to address in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel may produce idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both cases pretty swiftly.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car or truck parking spot we can reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir in the rear of the garden full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and industrial premises in Gloucestershire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several drums in a storage shed, as long as we can access it, we can certainly drain it for you.
