It was before 7 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and me were relaxing there discussing the recent footy rankings, waiting for the 6th job to arrive. Eventually we got the phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Natton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Volvo rental by mistake. She was very distressed apparently, stating "I can't believe that I have messed up the car! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to worry, also that such things sadly happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a secure space and, as it was no more than a short distance away from our van, we were able to reach her without delay. The wrong fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was residing in. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away relaxed and not so anxious. A job in Gloucestershire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Gloucestershire we are noticing an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly caused by people not being totally sure the way to work with it (please note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever 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 at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out asap. And certainly never start up the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. In the event that you did start the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to handle in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel will likely result in idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of fully, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations quite expediently.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close to a vehicle parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel tank laying in the rear of your premises full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and business premises in Gloucestershire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a storage shed, as long as we can access it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Natton (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill the car if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill up the car. They can also handle any of the usual troubles which can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Natton - Natton Petrol in Diesel

A guy had conked out off a street in Natton. His Mazda car had ceased functioning and he had no clue what was wrong until eventually he noticed he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he told us: "I cannot believe that I did not know that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He claimed that he had got zero sleep the night before and that could have been the reason why.
