It was after 10 pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased raining! Brian and I were relaxing there discussing the weekend's rugby, prepared for the next telephone call of the day to arrive. Finally we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Allaston and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Lexus rental by mistake. She was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I simply can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to get the car to a secure position and, because it was only a short distance off from our van, we were able to get to the customer almost instantly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could get back to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away calm and much less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Gloucestershire well done in my opinion!

Services We Provide:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Gloucestershire we are discovering a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part caused by motorists not being aware of the right way to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in 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. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely be careful not to crank the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. In case you have started the vehicle you may very likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a significant issue to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank may well lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both cases quite expediently.

Take note though that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to an automobile parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir placed at the rear of the garden containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and business properties in Gloucestershire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Allaston (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your automobile if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) to refill the car. They are also able to handle any of the typical problems that may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
