It was close to 9 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry day, it had not given up on pouring! James and I were sitting there talking about the recent football results, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain to come in. Eventually we got the call from a girl on a business trip who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Clifton and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Citroen lease car in error. She was rather troubled apparently, telling me "I can not believe I've destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to fret, plus that these things unfortunately often happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a secure position and, seeing that it was only a few minutes off from the office, we were able to arrive at the woman almost instantly.

Our Areas of Expertise: Services We Provide:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Bristol we have discovered increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a result of people not being aware of how to to make use of (note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the car.

Well, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to fix all types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to address in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel may result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both situations fairly swiftly.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in Bristol to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Wrong Fuel Clifton - Clifton Wrong Fuel Drain

I had a wonderful afternoon golfing on my day off and felt pleased with myself the following day as I set out to assist a new couple holidaying in Clifton. They'd pulled over after putting the wrong fuel in their Peugeot, and the car was close to half an hour's travel away. I showed up at their car and smiled to myself while I listened to the woman telling her man off for actually being so silly. "Exactly how could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this problem occurs constantly in Bristol and that it's really absolutely nothing to be anxious about, nevertheless he yet still had his ear bent by his wife. Unlucky chap. At any rate, I drained out the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some right fuel. While they drove away I mouthed bon voyage 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!
