We can assist you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Gloucestershire we have noticed an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly as a result of drivers not understanding the way to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the car.

Now, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at once. And most definitely do not switch on the engine - not even to shift it into a parking place. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant condition to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel can bring about idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both cases quite expediently.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will likely be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank sitting at the back of your premises full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial properties in Gloucestershire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some containers in a shed, assuming that we can reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

We will come to fill up your automobile if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home.

Wrong Fuel Assist Patchway - Patchway Wrong Fuel in Car

I had a fantastic day cycling during my afternoon off and felt cheerful the next day as I headed out to assist a new couple away in Patchway. They stopped after adding the wrong fuel into their Nissan, and they were approximately an hour away. I arrived at their position and laughed while I heard to the girl telling her hubby off for being so daft. "Exactly how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I wanted to clarify that this comes to pass on a regular basis in Gloucestershire and that it's nothing to be anxious about, but he in spite of everything got his ear bent by his better half. Unfortunate boy. At any rate, I removed all of the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. As they drove down the road I waved good bye and thought about what my wife would say to me in the event that I made the very same error... I'd never ever hear the end of it!
