It was just before 8 pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not given up on pouring down rain! James and I were resting commenting on the weekend's golf rankings, waiting around for the next job to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Henbury and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Audi hire car in error. The poor thing was fairly agitated apparently, telling me "I can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that such things do happen. She was able to move the car into a secure area and, seeing as it was just a few minutes off from where we were, we could find the customer without delay. The incorrect fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive home calm and much less anxious. A fuel drain in Bristol done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Expertise:

Below are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

In Bristol we are encountering progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of drivers being unsure of how to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to correct every type of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank can certainly bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances pretty easily.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to many domestic and industrial properties in Bristol for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to access it, we are able to empty it for you.

We will come to re-fill your vehicle if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home.
