It was after 6 pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were relaxing commenting on the weekend's rugby rankings, waiting for the sixth job that day to come in. Inevitably we had a call from a lady on a business excursion who had gone to the BP petrol station in Sandpits and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Volkswagen hire car. The poor thing was pretty irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I simply can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to fret, and that such things happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a safe area and, because it was only a few miles from where we were, we were able to find the woman without delay. The bad fuel was extracted and she could get back to the motel she was residing at. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away calm and a lot less stressed.

Our Fields of Expertise:

Listed here are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Gloucestershire we have noticed progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by drivers being unsure of the right way to use it (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the event that you discover youself to be in this position don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our experts possess the technical know-how and working experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a serious situation to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel may produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both situations fairly simply.

Remember though that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir placed at the rear of the garden containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and industrial properties in Gloucestershire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even some drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Sandpits (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your automobile any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to refill your car or truck. They are also able to take care of the usual issues that could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.
