It was after 5 pm on a Wednesday and while we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were relaxing talking about the weekend's football, ready for the next telephone call to come in. In due time we had a phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Gloucester and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Mercedes rental car in error. The poor lady was quite affected by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe that I've messed up the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to fret, also that things like this unfortunately do happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a safe space and, because it was no more than a few miles off from the office, we could reach the customer right away. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home calm and less anxious. One more fuel drain in Gloucestershire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel
All around Gloucestershire we have encountered progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of drivers not understanding how to use it (remember: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to one another on the car.
Well, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.
Call us in the event that you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily fix every type of AdBlue contamination.
Fuel contaminated with water
Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious condition to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel will result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both cases rather expediently.
Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.
Boat Fuel Drains
If there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}
Removal of Waste Fuel
Have an old fuel tank laying at the rear of your garden with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and business premises in Gloucestershire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in a storage shed, providing we can get to it, we can drain it.

We are able to help to refill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home.
