Finally we received the phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Epney and put petrol in a diesel Mitsubishi lease car. She was quite irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe I've ruined the car! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!"

Our Areas of Specialties:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Gloucestershire we have discovered more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially caused by motorists not being aware of the way to to make use of (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it right away. And most definitely do not switch on the car - not even to relocate it to a parking area. In cases where you have started the car you may likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank can potentially contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both situations quite simply.

Remember however that whenever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will likely be wholly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank laying at the back of the garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial premises in Gloucestershire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in an outbuilding, providing we can get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Epney (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill your vehicle if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to refill the car. They will be able to take care of the most common issues which could accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.
