It was just after seven pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless afternoon, it had not given up on pouring down rain! James and me were resting there commenting on the recent football rankings, prepared for the next call of the day to arrive. Finally we received a phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Hatherop and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Mitsubishi lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was rather troubled apparently, crying "I simply cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably often happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a protected spot and, seeing as it was only a few miles from the office, we could get to the lady quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off contented and not so anxious. Another fuel drain in Gloucestershire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

All over Gloucestershire we have identified an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly as a result of people not being totally sure the right way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it immediately. And certainly do not turn over the motor - not even to move it into a parking spot. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may very likely have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant situation to address in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank may well cause idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with fully, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations pretty quickly.

Bear in mind though that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel tank lying in the back of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Gloucestershire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a shed, if we are able to access it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Hatherop (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill the car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) and refill the car. They can also deal with the most common troubles which can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Hatherop - Hatherop Wrong Fuel

A gentleman contacted us from his place on a street in Hatherop. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a Chevrolet) is not running and is creating awful sounds when I turn the ignition." He confessed that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would remedy the issue by putting more Diesel on top. We showed up promptly, carried out the drain and filled it up again with untainted Diesel. He told us he'd be absolutely sure to explain to people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out immediately.
