Services We Deliver:

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

AdBlue Contamination

All around Bristol we have discovered an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a result of drivers not being aware of how to use it (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to one another on the car.

Now, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it asap. And absolutely never start up the car - not even to relocate it away from the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you will in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be an important issue to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel is likely to lead to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations very quickly.

Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one is going to be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car parking bay we can gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel tank lying at the back of your premises containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and business premises in Bristol to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even several containers in a shed, if we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Highridge (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Bristol Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill your car. They are also able to deal with the normal problems which could come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Highridge - Highridge Wrong Fuel in Car

A person phoned us from Highridge to say he had stupidly pumped petrol in his diesel Honda. "Shocking! How could I put the wrong fuel in my beautiful diesel car!" It took the engineer roughly 50 minutes to fully drain the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. He completely purged the fuel system and put fresh diesel in the car. The customer was very pleased and it didn't cost him dealer rates to have the job professionally done.

Recent Fuel Drains in Highridge

Testimonies from our own Highridge mechanics:

We fairly recently received a phone call from a man who had put the incorrect fuel in his Land Rover in Highridge. He had come to a stand-still on the street. "I was surprised at how fast you were in having a technician out to assist me after I mistakenly filled my car with the wrong fuel. Thank you so much". Obviously we got there promptly and flushed the engine after flushing all the contaminated fuel from the diesel tank. The client was pleased as punch by the time we were done and he was able to drive off satisfied.

Fuel Rescue Highridge - Highridge Fuel Drain

A man who had sadly put petrol in his diesel Ford called us for assistance at the Texaco petrol filling station in Highridge. He decided to top up before going on to the nearby recreation park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put petrol as opposed to diesel which unfortunately wasn't a good way to start to our holiday." It was definitely no challenge in any way for our engineer to go out and perform the fuel drain. We hope they had a good holiday.

Fuel Drain Highridge - Highridge Fuel Removal

I appreciated a great day golfing on the weekend and was feeling delighted with myself the following day as I set off to aid a young family on holiday in Highridge. They'd stopped after putting petrol in their Mercedes, and were around an hour away. I turned up at their car and smiled to myself while I heard to the woman chastising her spouse for turning out to be so stupid. "Exactly how could you actually find a way to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this problem goes on on a regular basis in Bristol and that it's nothing to stress about, and yet he still had his ear bent by his better half. Poor lad. Anyways, I removed the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some correct fuel. While they drove down the road I shouted good-bye and wondered what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I'd never ever live it down!
