It was about ten pm on a Wednesday and though we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and I were seated there going over the weekend's rugby, ready for the 8th telephone call that day to arrive. Finally we had a phone call from a woman on a company trip who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Littledean and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Nissan rental car by mistake. She was rather affected by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe I've destroyed the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to fret, plus that these things can happen. She was able to get the car into a secure space and, seeing that it was only a short distance off from the office, we could arrive at her quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she could get back to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive off calm and much less anxious. A misfuel correction in Gloucestershire well done in my opinion!

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Gloucestershire we have identified a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially thanks to drivers not knowing the way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the car.

So, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily fix different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel may lead to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both circumstances quite swiftly.

Remember that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to a vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container placed in the back of your garden full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial properties in Gloucestershire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to access it, we are able to empty it.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Littledean (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill your vehicle. They will be able to deal with the most common issues that could come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Littledean - Littledean Fuel Rescue

A guy had broken down just near a street in Littledean. His Chevrolet car had stopped operating and he'd no idea what was wrong until he noticed he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He called us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I cannot believe that I did not know that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He claimed that he had gotten absolutely no sleep the day before and that must have been the key reason why.
