It was just before 7 pm on a Monday and though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Ray and I were seated talking about the football results, waiting around for the seventh job for the day to arrive. Eventually we had the phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Fairford and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Renault hire car. She was pretty irritated apparently, telling me "I still cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that such things sadly do happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a safe position and, seeing as it was just a few minutes away from the office, we could reach the customer right away. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off calm and a lot less stressed. A job in Gloucestershire well done in my books!

Our Services:

Here are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

How to handle it in the event that you?ve poured Adblue in your Diesel fuel tank? It can be disastrous to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically in cases where you have had the engine running with Adblue in the tank. The moment the engine has been started up the Adblue will be pushed into your fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, causing catastrophic and costly problems to your car's fuel system.

In case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained right away. And most certainly be careful not to turn over the car - not even to move it off of the pump. If you did start the vehicle you would most likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank will likely contribute to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations quite easily.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial premises in Gloucestershire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages.
