It was just before 6 pm on a Monday and even though we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and me were relaxing there commenting on the rugby, waiting around for the sixth fuel drain for the day to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Arnos Vale and put petrol in her diesel Honda lease car in error. She was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to fret, also that things like this often happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a secure space and, seeing that it was only a few miles away from our van, we could get to the woman without delay. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was living at. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive off satisfied and much less anxious. A job in Bristol well done in my books!

Our Areas of Competence :

We can help you with all these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to handle it if you may have put Adblue into a Diesel fuel tank? It can be damaging to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly in cases where you run the engine with Adblue in the tank. The moment the engine has been switched on the Adblue is going to be squirted into your fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, bringing about devastating and costly problems to your car's fuel system.

In the case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out at once. And obviously don't switch on the car - not even to relocate it to a parking place. In cases where you did start the car you will likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a serious condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can easily produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations quite easily.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir laying in the rear of your premises full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial premises in Bristol to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a storage shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Arnos Vale (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive Bristol Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to fill up your automobile. They will be able to take care of the normal problems that might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
