It was just after 8 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Brian and I were resting discussing the recent sports results, at the ready for the 8th call of the day to come in. Before long we got a call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP filling station in Ketford and put petrol in a diesel Mercedes rental by mistake. The poor lady was rather troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I simply can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that such things regrettably often happen. She was able to get the car into a secure area and, as it was only a few minutes away from the office, we could get to the lady swiftly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the hotel she was staying at. Although we got really wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive home contented and less anxious. Yet another job in Gloucestershire done well in my books!

This is what we do best.
AdBlue In your Fuel
All around Gloucestershire we have noticed progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to motorists not knowing the way to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the car.
Well, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into 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 seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.
In the event that you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out asap. And of course don't start up the motor - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you may in all probability have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious situation to address in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol can certainly result in idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both circumstances rather easily.
Remember however that in the event that the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and useless.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to parking bay we can reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

A lady working in Ketford phoned us shortly after she managed to get her wrong fuelled car to work. She had put the wrong fuel in her diesel Skoda and, like plenty before her, imagined that she would be able to just fill up the tank with diesel and it would be okay. The car was spluttering and then it stopped when she got to the the front of her work. We immediately went to work on the fuel drain following her call and had it resolved inside one hour whilst she was at the office. She came out afterwards and thanked us saying, "I'm very happy you repaired my car."
