It was close to 7 pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a dry evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were sitting talking about the sports, waiting for the next call for the day to come in. Eventually we received a phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP filling station in Down Hatherley and put petrol in her diesel BMW rental in error. She was rather irritated it seemed, telling me "I can't believe I've destroyed the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, and that things like this do happen. She had managed to move the car to a protected space and, since it was only a few miles from where we were, we were able to reach the customer without delay.

AdBlue In your Fuel

What to do in the event that you?ve poured Adblue in a Diesel tank? It is certainly damaging to your automobile's fuel system, specifically in cases where you started the car with Adblue in your tank. The moment the engine has been switched on the Adblue will undoubtedly be dragged into your fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, triggering catastrophic and costly damage to your automobile's fuel system.

If you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it right away. And absolutely don't turn over the car - not even to relocate it to a parking place. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will very likely have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant condition to deal with in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both circumstances quite quickly.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one is going to be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Have an old fuel container laying at the back of your premises full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business properties in Gloucestershire to deal with 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 reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to get to it, we can empty it.

We're able to come to fill up your automobile in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home.

Vehicle Misfuel Down Hatherley - Down Hatherley Petrol in Diesel

A customer had conked out just off a road in Down Hatherley. His MINI car had ceased working and he had no idea what was awry until he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He called us to request a fuel drain and that's when he explained to us: "I cannot believe that I didn't realise that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had got zero rest the evening before and that must have been the reason why.
