Our Areas of Competence :

Below are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

In Gloucestershire we have found an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially thanks to motorists being unsure of the way to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it right away. And obviously take care not to switch on the motor - not even to shift it off the pump. If you did start the car you will in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a significant condition to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank is likely to lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both cases fairly easily.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a motor vehicle parking spot we can access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir laying at the back of your premises with old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial premises in Gloucestershire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a shed, provided that we can get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Norman Hill (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your automobile if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump price) and refill your car or truck. They are also able to handle the normal problems which might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Norman Hill - Norman Hill Petrol in Diesel

A customer rang us from his house on a street in Norman Hill. He exclaimed, "My vehicle (a Renault) is not starting and is making awful sounds when I turn the ignition." He admitted that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then thought he would remedy the problem by putting further Diesel on top. We were on scene promptly, did the drain and filled it up once again with fresh Diesel. He said after that he would be certain to explain to people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to get it drained right away.
