It was just before 10 pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and I were sitting commenting on the weekend's tennis results, waiting for the 8th job of the day to arrive. Before long we had a phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Hinchwick and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Nissan rental car by mistake. She was very troubled it seemed, saying "I just can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to be concerned, also that such things regrettably do happen. She had managed to get the car into a protected area and, seeing that it was just a few miles from where we were, we could get to the customer almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could return to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive away relaxed and a lot less stressed. A job in Gloucestershire done well in my mind!

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Gloucestershire we have identified a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to motorists not knowing the right way to work with it (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because the product is mainly deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And certainly be careful not to start the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. If you have started the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to deal with in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol may result in idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases very easily.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking bay we can reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank lying in the rear of your premises containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and business premises in Gloucestershire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in a storage shed, if we are able to get to it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Hinchwick (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill the car any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up your car or truck. They will be able to handle any of the common issues which may come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Hinchwick - Hinchwick Wrong Fuel in Car

A man had broken down just near a street in Hinchwick. His Mitsubishi motor had ceased operating and he'd no idea what was faulty right up until he realised he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and that's when he explained to us: "I can't believe that I did not know that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had gotten zero rest the evening before and that must have been precisely why.
