It was before 9 pm on a Monday and while we were promised a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped pouring! Brian and me were sitting discussing the football, ready for the next fuel drain that day to arrive. Inevitably we got a phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Esso filling station in Hyde and filled petrol in her diesel BMW rental in error. She was rather agitated apparently, crying "I can not believe I've wrecked the car! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I had forgot I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to worry, and also that things like this regrettably happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a safe position and, seeing that it was only a few miles off from us, we could find the lady without delay. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off contented and a lot less worried. Another fuel drain in Gloucestershire well done in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Gloucestershire we have encountered more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly as a consequence of people being unsure of the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the car.

Now, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly take care not to start up the car - not even to relocate it away from the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may probably need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important matter to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel will result in idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both cases quite swiftly.

Bear in mind though that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir placed in the back of your garden with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in Gloucestershire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a garage, provided that we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Hyde (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your automobile if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill up your car. They will take care of any of the typical troubles which might come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Hyde - Hyde Petrol in Diesel

A man had broken down just off a road in Hyde. His Mitsubishi engine had stopped working and he had no idea what was faulty till he noticed he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and that's when he explained to us: "I can not believe that I did not know that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He stated that he had gotten no sleep the night before and that could have been why.
