It was just before 8 pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and me were seated discussing the football results, prepared for the 6th job of the day to come in. Finally we got the call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Chipping Sodbury and filled petrol in a diesel Volkswagen rental car. The unfortunate lady was rather troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I simply can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to fret, plus that these things unfortunately happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected space and, because it was no more than a few miles from the office, we were able to find the lady quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive away contented and less apprehensive. One more job in Gloucestershire done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Competence :

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

What to do in the event that you?ve put Adblue in your Diesel tank? It can be damaging to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly in cases where you run the engine with Adblue in your diesel tank. Once the engine has been started the Adblue will likely be injected into the fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, causing disastrous and costly damage to your car's fuel system.

If you find you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out immediately. And absolutely do not crank the motor - not even to move it to a parking bay. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious condition to handle in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol can potentially contribute to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations pretty quickly.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel reservoir laying in the back of your garden containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and commercial premises in Gloucestershire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Chipping Sodbury (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your car if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) to fill up your automobile. They will be able to fix any of the usual problems that might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
