Services We Deliver:

Listed here are our top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Gloucestershire we are finding a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly a result of drivers not being aware of how to use it (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As the product is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And certainly don't start up the engine - not even to move it away from the pump. Assuming you have started the car you would almost certainly have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel can potentially bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of properly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both cases pretty easily.

Remember though that in the event that the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car parking spot we are able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container at the back of your premises with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial properties in Gloucestershire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a garage, provided that we are able to get to it, we can drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Southend (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill the car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) and fill the car. They will be able to fix any of the standard issues which might accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Southend - Southend Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had a terrific day hiking during my holiday and felt contented the following morning as I was en route to assist a new couple who were holidaying in Southend. They had conked out after filling diesel in their Mazda, and they were close to half an hour away. I emerged at their position and smirked to myself while I heard to the girl telling her spouse off for being so daft. "Exactly how could you even find a way to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this problem happens quite frequently in Gloucestershire and that it's actually absolutely nothing to be concerned about, even so he yet still had an ear bashing. Unfortunate chap. Anyway, I drained the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While they drove away I mouthed hasta la vista and considered what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I would personally never ever live it down!
