It was close to 6 pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ryan and I were relaxing going over the football, waiting for the 6th job for the day to arrive. Inevitably we had a call from a young lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Esso filling station in Two Mile Hill and put petrol in her diesel Dacia rental car in error. The unfortunate lady was somewhat affected apparently, crying "I can not believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that these things happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a safe space and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes off from the office, we could find the customer right away. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the motel she was living in. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive away calm and not so apprehensive. Yet another job in Bristol well done in my opinion!

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

AdBlue Contamination

In Bristol we are discovering increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to motorists not being totally sure how to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out right away. And of course be careful not to switch on the car - not even to move it from the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you may very likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important issue to handle in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can potentially trigger idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both circumstances very easily.

You should know though that if the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container in the back of the garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and business premises in Bristol for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Two Mile Hill (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Bristol Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill your automobile. They will take care of any of the normal troubles that might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.
