It was about seven pm on a Wednesday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and me were relaxing going over the weekend's footy rankings, waiting around for the seventh job that day to arrive. Finally we received a call from a woman on a company trip who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Colethrop and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Dacia hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was quite agitated it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that these things unfortunately happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a protected space and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes away from the office, we could reach the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could go home to the motel she was staying in. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive home contented and much less worried. Another fuel drain in Gloucestershire done well in my opinion!

We can help you with all these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

How to handle it in case you have put Adblue into your Diesel tank? AdBlue is a liquid made from a mix of urea (32.5%) and ionized water.Adblue can be harmful to your automobile's fuel system, particularly any time you started the car with Adblue in your fuel tank. Once the engine has been switched on the Adblue is going to be pushed into the fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, bringing about disastrous and costly problems to your automobile's fuel system.

In the event that you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained right away. And obviously never start up the engine - not even to move it to a parking spot. If you have started the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious condition to deal with in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel will often lead to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both cases quite simply.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir at the rear of your garden full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in Gloucestershire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in an outbuilding, provided that we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Colethrop (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) to refill the car. They are also able to handle the typical problems which could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Colethrop - Colethrop Wrong Fuel Doctor

A customer contacted us from his place on a street in Colethrop. He exclaimed, "My vehicle (a Porsche) is not running and is producing very bad noises when I flip the ignition." He admitted that he had put unleaded in his diesel car but then imagined he would solve the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, carried out the drain and filled him up again with clean Diesel. He told us after that he would be certain to explain to people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to have it drained immediately.
