It was just after eight pm on a Saturday and although we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Paul and I were sitting there commenting on the recent sports rankings, ready for the 6th fuel drain of the day to come in. Finally we received a phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Stapleton and filled petrol in her diesel Land Rover lease car by mistake. She was very affected it seemed, saying "I just can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things can happen. She had managed to move the car to a protected space and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance from us, we were able to arrive at the woman without delay. The bad fuel was taken out and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Even though we got very wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive away satisfied and less anxious. A misfuel correction in Bristol done well in my books!

Our Fields of Expertise:

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Bristol we are noticing a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by drivers not being totally sure the way to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And absolutely never crank the car - not even to shift it into a parking area. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will very likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to take care of in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol is likely to produce idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases rather expediently.

Keep in mind that as long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to parking bay we should be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank placed in the back of the garden containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in Bristol to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in an outbuilding, provided that we can access it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Stapleton (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Bristol Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill your automobile. They are also able to fix any of the common troubles which could accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Stapleton - Stapleton Wrong Fuel

A man contacted us from his house on a road in Stapleton. He said, "My car (a Lexus) is not running and is making terrible sounds when I flip the ignition." He confessed that he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would remedy the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We were on scene promptly, carried out the drain and filled him up once again with fresh Diesel. He told us he'd be absolutely sure to tell people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out promptly.
