Our Areas of Expertise :

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Gloucestershire we have found a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to motorists not understanding the way to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it right away. And obviously never start up the car - not even to shift it off the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to take care of in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can potentially produce idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both situations very swiftly.

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

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car parking spot we can access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel tank placed at the back of your premises full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial properties in Gloucestershire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in a garage, provided that we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Strand (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a full Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill your car or truck. They will be able to handle the typical problems that may go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in Strand

Tales from our own Strand mechanics:

Now I am certainly not that hot for carrying out work weekends, and a while back was the same. I had just left the family following a fantastic dinner cooked by the better half, and I was on my way to sort out a guy because he put the incorrect petrol in his MINI. He was situated in Strand so it wasn't a long time before I got to him. Just as I drove up behind the vehicle and stepped out he explained to me "Thank God! I had my concentration on something else and did not ascertain I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I caused any kind of damage by simply driving it?" I explained truth be told there shouldn't be problems and also I'd get the fuel drained quickly. Obviously I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and filled up with the correct fuel, and thus yet another content motorist could continue his trip with no hassle. He could hardly stop thanking me, and that is actually what tends to make operating on Sundays in Gloucestershire just that little bit better to me!

Fuel Drain Strand - Strand Fuel Drain

A motorist driving in Strand called us after she tried to get her misfueled vehicle to her office. She had filled unleaded in her diesel Porsche and, like many people prior to her, believed that she would be able to simply fill up the tank with diesel and it'd be no problem. The engine was spluttering and then it cut out when she reached the the front of her work. We quickly went to work on the fuel drain after she called and got it resolved in an hour while she was at the office. She came out afterwards and thanked us stating, "I'm really delighted you sorted my vehicle."

Fuel Drain Strand - Strand Fuel Drain

A man called us from his place on a street in Strand. He explained, "My car (a BMW) is not starting and is generating dreadful noises when I flip the key." He said that he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would fix the problem by putting more Diesel on top. We got there quickly, performed the drain and filled it up once more with fresh Diesel. He said he would be sure to tell people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out right away.
