It was just before eight pm on a Wednesday and while we were guaranteed a dry day, it had not ceased pouring! Mark and I were sitting there commenting on the weekend's golf rankings, waiting for the 8th fuel drain for the day to come in. Inevitably we received a phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Hazleton and filled petrol in her diesel Skoda lease car in error. She was pretty affected apparently, telling me "I still can't believe I have messed up the car! I am so used to filling my petrol car I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that such things often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a safe position and, as it was only a few minutes away from us, we were able to find the lady quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could go home to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home calm and not so worried. Yet another job in Gloucestershire well done in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

All over Gloucestershire we are identifying a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by people being unsure of the right way to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out right away. And absolutely take care not to turn over the engine - not even to relocate it off of the pump. If you did start the vehicle you may very likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant matter to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank will bring about idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both circumstances fairly expediently.

You should know however that if the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a vehicle parking spot we are able to access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir placed in the back of your premises with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and business premises in Gloucestershire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a garage, assuming that we can access it, we can empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Hazleton (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your car if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) to refill your vehicle. They are also able to take care of any of the typical troubles that could go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Hazleton - Hazleton Petrol in Diesel

A man called us from Hazleton saying he stupidly pumped petrol in to his diesel Volkswagen. "Shocking! I can't believe I put petrol in my nice diesel car!" It only took our technician about fifty minutes to completely drain the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. He totally purged the fuel lines, filter and pumps and then put clean diesel in the vehicle. The customer was very pleased and it hadn't cost him dealer prices to get the work properly completed.
