Our Areas of Experience :

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Gloucestershire we have seen a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from people not being totally sure how to work with it (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out asap. And definitely be careful not to crank the car - not even to move it to a parking place. If you did start the car you would very likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a significant condition to handle in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel may result in idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not remedied properly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both cases very easily.

Remember however that if the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel reservoir lying in the back of your garden with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and commercial premises in Gloucestershire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in a shed, providing we can access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Standish (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your automobile if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) and fill up your automobile. They can also take care of any of the common troubles which may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
