It was about 10 pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ryan and me were seated commenting on the recent football rankings, prepared for the 8th fuel drain of the day to arrive. Before long we had a call from a lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Ashton Vale and filled petrol in a diesel Hyundai hire car in error. The poor lady was fairly affected apparently, telling me "I can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that such things happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a protected position and, since it was just a few miles off from our van, we were able to get to the woman without delay.

Our Areas of Expertise:

Listed here are the top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Bristol we are identifying more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to motorists being unsure of the right way to use it (take note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since the product is mainly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it asap. And definitely take care not to start the engine - not even to move it from the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you will likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to take care of in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank can easily produce idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both cases rather easily.

Keep in mind that if the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to parking spot we are able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container placed in the rear of your premises containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and commercial premises in Bristol for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a shed, if we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Ashton Vale (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Bristol Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill your automobile in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill your car or truck. They are also able to deal with the typical problems which may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Ashton Vale - Ashton Vale Wrong Fuel Drain

A gentleman phoned us from Ashton Vale to state that he stupidly pumped unleaded into his diesel Hyundai. "I can't believe it! How could I put the wrong fuel in my diesel car!" It only took the fuel drainer roughly fifty minutes to completely drain the wrong fuel from the car. He completely cleaned the fuel system and after that put clean diesel in the vehicle. The customer was delighted and it didn't cost him dealer rates to get the work professionally completed.
