It was close to ten pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Paul and I were resting there commenting on the recent tennis rankings, waiting around for the sixth job of the day to come in. In due time we received a phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Yanworth and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Peugeot hire car by mistake. She was somewhat troubled it seemed, stating "I can not believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to fret, also that such things sadly do happen. She managed to relocate the car into a safe position and, because it was only a short distance off from us, we could get to the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact we got really drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away satisfied and much less stressed. A misfuel correction in Gloucestershire well done in my opinion!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Gloucestershire we are identifying a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to people not knowing how to use it (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And certainly take care not to start up the motor - not even to relocate it from the pump. If you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious issue to address in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel will often result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both situations fairly simply.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will probably be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir sitting at the back of the garden full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial properties in Gloucestershire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some containers in a shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Yanworth (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill the car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill up your automobile. They will fix the common troubles which can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Yanworth - Yanworth Wrong Fuel Drain

A while back a man called us soon after his Land Rover stopped working in the middle of a road in Yanworth. He had accidentally put the incorrect fuel in the diesel vehicle and got to the road before needing to pull up. It was really in the early hours of the day and our fuel drainer, who lives close by, reached him in about a quarter hour. We were able to get rid of the wrong fuel and put clean diesel once again in the vehicle. "Many kudos to you for your immediate response, particularly at 4 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
