It was just after 8 pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were seated there going over the weekend's football, waiting for the seventh telephone call for the day to come in. Before long we got a call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Norman Hill and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Smart rental car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was rather affected it seemed, crying "I simply can't believe that I have ruined the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that things like this unfortunately do happen.

Our Services:

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

AdBlue In Diesel

What to do in the event that you have poured Adblue in your Diesel tank? Adblue is actually damaging to your car's fuel system, especially in cases where you have had the engine running with Adblue in the tank. Once the engine has been switched on the Adblue will likely be squirted into your fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, resulting in serious and expensive damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

If you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And obviously never start up the car - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you would likely need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank may cause idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both circumstances pretty quickly.

You should know that if the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank placed in the rear of the garden containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial premises in Gloucestershire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a garage, assuming that we can get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Norman Hill (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill the car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill up your vehicle. They can also deal with the usual issues which can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
