Wrong Fuel in Car Strand, Gloucestershire
Vehicle Misfuel Strand - Strand Vehicle Misfuel
What a great night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a sunny Saturday and we were off to assist an older woman after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel Vauxhall in Strand. I had been informed she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and was broken down along a backwater lane en route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got the location punched in the TomTom and was with her in less than an hour. I reached the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel from the car. While I was doing it she told me, "Now I'm getting quite absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the vehicle working with diesel as I'd only purchased it several days ago after my former car, which I had for about thirty years, finally died on me". I got the drain done and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a pleasant Gloucestershire lady!

It was about ten pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and me were sitting there discussing the recent tennis, waiting for the sixth job to arrive. Eventually we received a phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Strand and filled petrol in her diesel Citroen lease car. She was rather distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe I've messed up the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that such things often happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a secure position and, as it was just a few minutes off from our van, we were able to reach the lady swiftly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was living at. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive home contented and not so worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Gloucestershire well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Competence :
Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.
AdBlue In Your Diesel
In Gloucestershire we are finding more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of drivers being unsure of the right way to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to one another on the automobile.
So, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.
Should you find yourself in this position do not panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our experts have the practical competence and working experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to address in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank will trigger idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both situations very swiftly.
Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will be completely wet and ineffective.
Boat Fuel Drains
If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}
Waste Fuel Removal
Got an old fuel tank placed in the back of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and business properties in Gloucestershire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in a garage, if we can get to it, we are able to empty it.
Re-Fueling Services
Out of fuel in Strand (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up the car any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill your car. They are also able to handle any of the normal problems that may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
