It was just after 7 pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a dry evening, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Mark and I were resting there talking about the weekend's rugby rankings, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain that day to arrive. In due time we got a call from a young lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Coleford and put petrol in her diesel Vauxhall rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was rather distressed apparently, telling me "I cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and that such things unfortunately do happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe spot and, as it was only a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to find the lady rather quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could return to the hotel she was lodging in. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive away calm and a lot less apprehensive. One more job in Gloucestershire done well in my books!

Our Areas of Expertise :

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

All over Gloucestershire we have identified more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of motorists not being aware of the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can fix all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel will likely result in idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both circumstances pretty simply.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank sitting in the rear of your garden with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and industrial properties in Gloucestershire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even some drums in a shed, providing we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Coleford (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a full Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill the car any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill up your automobile. They will deal with the standard problems that can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Coleford - Coleford Petrol in Diesel

A man rang us from his house on a street in Coleford. He said, "My car (a Ford) is not starting up and is making dreadful noises when I turn the key." He said that he had put unleaded in his diesel car but then thought he would resolve the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, carried out the drain and filled him up again with fresh Diesel. He told us after that he would be sure to explain to people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to have it drained immediately.
