Services We Provide:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Gloucestershire we have discovered progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it right away. And obviously be careful not to crank the motor - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you would probably have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important condition to handle in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol is likely to produce idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases pretty simply.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container lying at the back of your premises with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial properties in Gloucestershire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a garage, as long as we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Siddington (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill your automobile if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up your vehicle. They are also able to fix the usual problems that may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Siddington - Siddington Fuel Rescue

A couple of days ago a motorist telephoned us just after his Peugeot cut out on a road in Siddington. He had by accident put petrol in his diesel car and drove to the road before needing to pull up. It was actually early in the day and our fuel drainer, who stays not far away, reached him in less than 20 minutes. We managed to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel yet again into the car. "Sincere kudos to you for your immediate response, and in particular at 2 a.m., I really appreciate it."
