Our Fields of Specialties:

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Gloucestershire we are discovering more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partly thanks to drivers not being totally sure the way to use it (remember: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the car.

Now, what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? As the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And obviously do not crank the vehicle - not even to move it off the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you may almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious condition to deal with in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank can potentially cause idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both cases rather swiftly.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank sitting in the rear of the garden with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and business premises in Gloucestershire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even numerous containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can access it, we could certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Overton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home.
