It was just after 8 pm on a Saturday and although we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were sitting going over the recent tennis rankings, waiting for the sixth call to arrive. In due time we got a phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Millend and filled petrol in a diesel Renault rental in error. She was rather troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to worry, plus that things like this can happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a safe position and, since it was only a few miles off from the office, we could reach her fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could go home to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive away satisfied and less stressed. Another misfuel correction in Gloucestershire done well in my books!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Gloucestershire we have noticed a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part due to drivers not being totally sure the way to work with it (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it right away. And certainly take care not to switch on the engine - not even to move it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the car you will probably have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a serious condition to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel will often cause idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both situations quite quickly.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank laying at the rear of your garden containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and industrial properties in Gloucestershire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a storage shed, if we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Millend (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a complete Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill the car if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill your car. They can also take care of the normal issues which might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Millend - Millend Wrong Fuel in Car

A couple of days ago a man telephoned us right after his Nissan cut out in the middle of a road in Millend. He had accidentally put the incorrect fuel in the diesel motor and had managed to get to the road before being forced to give up. It was still early in the morning and our technical engineer, who resides close by, got to him in less than a quarter hour. We managed to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel once again in the vehicle. "Genuine kudos to you for your timely response, and in particular at 5 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
