If you've mistakenly put the incorrect fuel in your car and at this point want a fuel drain you are most likely browsing the web hoping for a rapid, trustworthy, skilled and a relatively inexpensive wrong fuel removal company in Hillend Green or Gloucestershire. We are the people to help you!

It was just before seven pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it had not given up on raining! Dan and I were sitting there going over the recent rugby results, waiting around for the 6th job that day to arrive. Before long we got a phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Hillend Green and put petrol in a diesel Honda rental car in error. She was rather distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that such things regrettably can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a protected position and, since it was just a short distance away from our van, we were able to arrive at her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying at. Even though we got very drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive home calm and not so anxious. A fuel drain in Gloucestershire well done in my opinion!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Gloucestershire we have noticed a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of people not understanding the way to work with it (remember: 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 adjacent to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will attend to all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to take care of in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in fuel will likely produce idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases very quickly.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car parking bay we should be able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank placed at the back of the garden containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and industrial premises in Gloucestershire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in a garage, providing we can reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Hillend Green (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your car any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill your vehicle. They will be able to fix the typical troubles that could come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
