It was about six pm on a Tuesday and while we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Mark and I were relaxing discussing the tennis, ready for the 6th call for the day to arrive. Finally we got a call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Seven Springs and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Ford lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was quite agitated apparently, saying "I cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to worry, and also that things like this regrettably do happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a safe area and, seeing as it was only a short distance away from where we were, we could reach the woman almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could go home to the Travelodge she was staying at. Even though we got very soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive away relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. Another job in Gloucestershire done well in my opinion!

Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your car? We can resolve any related problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Gloucestershire we are identifying a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly thanks to motorists not understanding the right way to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it right away. And certainly don't turn over the motor - not even to move it into a parking bay. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may most likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a significant condition to address in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel will often contribute to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases fairly simply.

Take note that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be wholly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank placed at the back of your premises containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and business premises in Gloucestershire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able 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 perhaps a few drums in a garage, providing we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Seven Springs (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill your car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill up your car or truck. They are also able to fix any of the common troubles that might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Seven Springs - Seven Springs Petrol in Diesel

I'd had a terrific evening cycling on my afternoon off and felt cheerful the next morning as I headed out to help a new couple away in Seven Springs. They had stopped after adding the wrong fuel into their Dacia, and were about an hour's drive away. I showed up at their car and smirked to myself as I listened to the gal berating her husband for actually being so stupid. "How could you conceivably manage to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this occurs on a regular basis in Gloucestershire and that it's absolutely nothing to worry about, but he all the same got an ear bashing by his missus. Poor lad. Anyways, I drained the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the correct fuel. While they drove away I shouted goodbye and pondered on what my missus would tell me if ever I made the exact same mistake... I'd personally never hear the end of it!
