It was just before ten pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ray and me were sitting there going over the footy rankings, prepared for the seventh job of the day to come in. Finally we got a phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Browns End and put petrol in a diesel Skoda hire car. She was somewhat irritated apparently, telling me "I cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to fret, plus that such things happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected space and, because it was no more than a few minutes away from us, we could get to the lady without delay. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the hotel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off relaxed and less worried. A misfuel correction in Gloucestershire well done in my mind!

Listed below are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Gloucestershire we have seen a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by people not being aware of the right way to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the car.

Now, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out immediately. And obviously take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to move it from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious condition to take care of in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel will often result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both situations very swiftly.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container in the back of your garden full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and industrial properties in Gloucestershire 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 legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Browns End (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill the car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to refill your car or truck. They will deal with the normal troubles that could go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
