Our Areas of Experience :

We can assist you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Gloucestershire we have found a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree due to motorists being unsure of the right way to to make use of (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained immediately. And of course be careful not to switch on the motor - not even to relocate it off of the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you may almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question an important matter to address in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can easily cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both circumstances very simply.

Bear in mind however that any time the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

We've been called out to several private and commercial premises in Gloucestershire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages.

A few stories:

We not long ago had a call from a businessman who put the incorrect fuel in his Lexus in Filton. He had ground to a halt on the road. "After adding unleaded in my diesel car I didn't notice the predicament before we broke down. You removed the wrong fuel from my car and got it working . I was impressed as a result of both how fast you were and your value for money". It goes without saying that we appeared punctually and purged the engine after flushing the petrol from the diesel tank.

Wrong Fuel Assist Filton - Filton Fuel Removal

This really was what is called the night shift. It was roughly sunrise and hardly anyone was around. It had become fairly uneventful up to now, and Brian and I were loafing about browsing several old newspapers. This was a rare restful moment in Gloucestershire. It was indeed that peaceful that the instant the telephone finally rang it made me jump! The customer explained: "I just finished my evening shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in a diesel Volkswagen". I instructed him to let us know where exactly he was and we set off, ending up in Filton an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the motor. He said thank you for coming so fast. As we were coming back to base we noticed two ladies at the side of the street who looked like they suffered a flat tyre. Accordingly we got out and helped them change it, much to their delight.

Wrong Fuel Assist Filton - Filton Wrong Fuel

I'd had a wonderful afternoon golfing during the weekend and was feeling delighted with myself the following working day as I headed out to help a new couple who were away in Filton. They had stopped after inserting petrol in their Citroen, and were about half an hour away. I got there at their car and smiled to myself as I heard to the wife berating her partner for being so stupid. "Exactly how could you possibly find a way to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this kind of thing comes to pass frequently in Gloucestershire and that it's nothing at all to get worried about, however he yet still had his ear bent. Poor lad. In any case, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. Watching while they drove away I waved farewell and wondered what my wife would tell me if I did the same thing... I'd personally never live it down!
