Our Areas of Competence :

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

AdBlue In Diesel

In Bristol we have encountered a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to drivers not knowing how to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the automobile.

So, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it asap. And absolutely be careful not to crank the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. In cases where you did start the car you will in all probability need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to address in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can potentially lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both cases rather easily.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will likely be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car parking spot we are able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel reservoir at the back of your garden with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and business properties in Bristol to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even some drums in a garage, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Bedminster (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete Bristol Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up the car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to refill the car. They can also take care of any of the typical troubles that can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Bedminster - Bedminster Wrong Fuel in Car

I appreciated a terrific evening golfing during my afternoon off and felt pleased the following working day as I set out to aid a new couple away in Bedminster. They had broken down after inserting petrol in their Mercedes, and they were approximately half an hour's drive away. I got there at their position and laughed to myself as I listened to the woman telling her spouse off for being so confused. "How could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I attempted to explain that this problem happens on daily basis in Bristol and that it's nothing at all to stress about, but he in spite of everything got an ear bashing. Poor lad. In any case, I drained the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive away I waved good-bye and wondered what her indoors would do to me in the event that I made the very same mistake... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!
