It was before eight pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Ray and me were sitting there talking about the footy, ready for the 6th fuel drain of the day to arrive. Finally we received a phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Clifton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel SEAT hire car in error. She was very affected apparently, crying "I can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to worry, plus that these things regrettably can happen. She was able to relocate the car to a secure spot and, because it was only a few minutes from our van, we were able to get to her rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off calm and less worried. Yet another job in Bristol well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

In Bristol we have found a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from drivers being unsure of how to use it (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out right away. And definitely don't switch on the motor - not even to move it into a parking bay. In the instance that you have started the car you may in all probability need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually an important condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel may well result in idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both circumstances fairly easily.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel tank laying at the back of the garden full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and business premises in Bristol for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a storage shed, if we can access it, we are able to empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Clifton (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Bristol Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to fill your car. They can also handle any of the standard problems which can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Clifton - Clifton Wrong Fuel Drain

A gentleman had conked out near a street in Clifton. His Hyundai engine had ceased functioning and he had no idea what was awry right up until he realised he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to request a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I can not believe that I didn't know that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He claimed that he had got very little sleep the evening before and that could have been the key reason why.
