It was around eight pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! Paul and I were resting going over the tennis, waiting around for the sixth fuel drain that day to come in. Before long we got a phone call from a lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in St Briavels and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Mitsubishi rental car by mistake. She was rather affected it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to fret, and that such things happen. She was able to get the car to a secure area and, because it was just a few miles off from us, we were able to get to the lady fairly quickly.

Services We Offer:

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Gloucestershire we are noticing increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mainly thanks to motorists not being aware of the way to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely do not start up the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may very likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question an important situation to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel may well result in idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both circumstances pretty quickly.

Be aware however that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car parking spot we will be able to access the storage and drain out the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel tank laying in the back of the garden with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in Gloucestershire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps some drums in a garage, providing we can access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in St Briavels (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) and fill your automobile. They are also able to fix the standard issues which can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.
