It was just before 9 pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and me were sitting there commenting on the recent golf results, prepared for the next call that day to arrive. Before long we got the call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Lower Slaughter and put petrol in her diesel Mazda rental car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was quite irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to worry, plus that things like this sadly often happen. She was able to move the car to a safe area and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we were able to get to her almost instantly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she could return to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away calm and a lot less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Gloucestershire done well in my mind!

Services Our Company Offers:

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

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Gloucestershire we are identifying a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a result of motorists not knowing the way to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, what's the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Call us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will take care of all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a serious matter to handle in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel may well lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed fully, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both circumstances rather swiftly.

Remember that any time the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to parking spot we are able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir in the rear of the garden full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and industrial premises in Gloucestershire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Lower Slaughter (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a full Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up your vehicle if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) to refill the car. They will be able to take care of any of the usual troubles which can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Lower Slaughter - Lower Slaughter Wrong Fuel in Car

I appreciated a perfect evening cycling during my holiday and was feeling contented the next morning as I headed out to help a young couple who were on holiday in Lower Slaughter. They had conked out after putting petrol into their Toyota, and they were close to an hour away. I arrived at their position and laughed while I heard to the gal telling her spouse off for being so silly. "Just how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this happens continuously in Gloucestershire and that it's really nothing at all to be anxious about, however he still had his ear bent. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. Anyhow, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. While watching them drive off I mouthed so long and considered what her indoors would do to me if I did the exact same thing... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
