It was after 9 pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were sitting there talking about the football results, at the ready for the next call of the day to come in. Finally we got the phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP filling station in New Cheltenham and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Mitsubishi hire car. She was somewhat irritated apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to fret, plus that things like this regrettably happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a safe space and, seeing as it was just a few miles from our van, we were able to reach the customer swiftly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it to see her drive away satisfied and much less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Gloucestershire done well in my opinion!

Services We Offer:

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

AdBlue Contamination

How to proceed if you may have poured Adblue into a Diesel tank? AdBlue is a chemical that?s made from a mixture of ionized water and urea (32.5%).It can be damaging to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly in cases where you started the car with Adblue in the tank. Once the engine has been started up the Adblue will likely be pushed into your fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, causing disastrous and expensive damage to your automobile's fuel system.

In the case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it at once. And most definitely be careful not to crank the engine - not even to move it away from the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you may probably need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important situation to handle in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol is going to trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both circumstances quite easily.

Take note though that if the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container at the back of the garden with old, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in Gloucestershire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even several containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in New Cheltenham (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill the car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill your car. They will take care of the standard problems which could go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.
