It was before 7 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless day, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Paul and me were relaxing there talking about the football rankings, waiting for the 6th job to arrive. In due time we received the call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Hempsted and put petrol in her diesel Lexus rental car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was very troubled apparently, stating "I can't believe I've destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to fret, also that these things unfortunately do happen. She managed to relocate the car into a secure position and, since it was only a few miles away from our van, we were able to arrive at her without delay. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off contented and less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Gloucestershire done well in my mind!

Services We Provide:

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

AdBlue Contamination

All over Gloucestershire we are encountering an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of drivers not being totally sure how to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you find yourself in this predicament do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our technicians have got the practical expertise and experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly an important issue to deal with in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank can potentially produce idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Take note however that if the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel reservoir lying at the back of your premises with old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and industrial premises in Gloucestershire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a shed, provided that we can reach it, we can empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Hempsted (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill the car. They will be able to deal with any of the typical troubles which might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Hempsted - Hempsted Vehicle Misfuel

I had a terrific afternoon golfing on the weekend and was feeling cheerful the following working day as I set off to assist a new family holidaying in Hempsted. They had conked out after adding the wrong fuel in their Volkswagen, and they were about half an hour away. I arrived at their location and smirked while I listened to the lady telling her hubby off for actually being so stupid. "How could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this occurs continuously in Gloucestershire and that it's absolutely nothing to get worried about, however he yet still got an earful. Poor boy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed all the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive away I mouthed good-bye and wondered what my missus would say to me if I did the very same thing... I'd never ever hear the end of it!
