It was before 5 pm on a Friday and though we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! James and me were relaxing commenting on the rugby results, waiting for the 8th job to come in. Inevitably we had a call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Kingshill and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Volvo hire car. She was very troubled apparently, crying "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to worry, also that these things sadly happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected spot and, as it was only a few minutes from the office, we were able to find the lady almost instantly. The wrong fuel was removed and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Although we got very drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive away calm and less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Gloucestershire well done in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Gloucestershire we have found more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of drivers being unsure of how to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Whenever you find yourself in this situation do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination business. Our technicians have the specialised expertise and experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious condition to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel may trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly easily.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car parking spot we can reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting at the back of the garden containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial premises in Gloucestershire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a garage, if we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Kingshill (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) to fill your car or truck. They will fix any of the usual issues which could accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
