It was about 5 pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Paul and I were relaxing discussing the weekend's rugby, waiting for the 6th telephone call to arrive. Inevitably we got the phone call from a girl on a business trip who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Clifton and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel MG lease car by mistake. The poor thing was rather irritated apparently, stating "I cannot believe I have messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to fret, and that these things unfortunately can happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a safe position and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes from the office, we were able to arrive at her fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive away calm and less concerned. Another job in Bristol done well in my books!

Our service is completely mobile and we can come out no matter wherever you are and have the car drained, cleaned and working just as before very quickly - and at a reasonable price!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Bristol we are discovering a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly stemming from people being unsure of the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it right away. And of course never turn over the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking place. In case you have started the vehicle you may probably need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally an important condition to take care of in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel may contribute to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both situations very swiftly.

Remember that if the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to parking spot we can reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel tank placed at the back of the garden full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Bristol to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we can get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Clifton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete Bristol Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill your vehicle. They will be able to take care of any of the usual issues that could come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Clifton - Clifton Wrong Fuel Doctor

A person called us from Clifton saying he unfortunately piped the wrong fuel in to his diesel Renault. "What a nightmare! How could I put petrol in my lovely diesel car!" It took the engineer approximately 50 minutes to completely drain the incorrect fuel from the car. He completely flushed the fuel system and then put fresh diesel in the vehicle. The customer was thrilled and it didn't cost him dealership rates to have the task professionally done.
