It was before 5 pm on a Monday and although we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Paul and I were sitting discussing the recent golf rankings, at the ready for the seventh fuel drain that day to come in. Inevitably we got a call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Esso filling station in Hempsted and filled petrol in her diesel Fiat rental by mistake. She was quite agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that things like this do happen. She was able to get the car into a protected space and, as it was just a short distance from our van, we were able to get to her fairly quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away contented and much less stressed. A fuel drain in Gloucestershire well done in my opinion!

Services We Provide:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Gloucestershire we are encountering progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly a result of drivers not being aware of the right way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the car.

So, what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it's like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily handle all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank is going to trigger idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both circumstances pretty expediently.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close to a car parking bay we are able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel container sitting at the rear of your premises with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and industrial premises in Gloucestershire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to get to it, we can empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Hempsted (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill your vehicle if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill your car. They will fix any of the standard troubles that could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Hempsted - Hempsted Fuel Drain

A man had stopped just off a street in Hempsted. His Mercedes motor had ceased running and he had no idea what was the problem right up until he noticed he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He called us to request a fuel drain and that's when he said to us: "I can not believe that I did not know that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had gotten virtually no rest the evening before and that could have been the reason why.
