It was around eight pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a dry evening, it had not given up on raining! Brian and I were relaxing there discussing the golf rankings, ready for the 8th call to come in. Inevitably we got a call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Bourton-on-the-Water and put petrol in her diesel Honda rental by mistake. She was quite affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that things like this sadly do happen. She had managed to move the car to a secure area and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes off from where we were, we could reach the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was living in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive off relaxed and less anxious. Another fuel drain in Gloucestershire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Gloucestershire we are noticing a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to people not being aware of how to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And of course be careful not to turn over the motor - not even to shift it off of the pump. If you did start the car you may most likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a serious situation to address in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel can lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases very expediently.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to an automobile parking spot we are able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container sitting in the rear of your premises containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and commercial premises in Gloucestershire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even a number of containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Bourton-on-the-Water (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up the car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to fill your car. They can also take care of the typical troubles that might go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Bourton-on-the-Water - Bourton-on-the-Water Wrong Fuel

A customer had stopped near a street in Bourton-on-the-Water. His Nissan car had ceased running and he had no clue what was faulty until he realised he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I can't believe that I did not realise that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had gotten very little sleep the night before and that could have been the reason why.
