It was just before eight pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't ceased raining! James and I were sitting commenting on the weekend's golf results, prepared for the 8th job to arrive. Before long we received a call from a lady on a company trip who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Swindon and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Honda lease car. She was pretty affected it seemed, crying "I just can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to fret, and that such things sadly often happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a secure area and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles from where we were, we could arrive at the customer swiftly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive home contented and less stressed. A job in Gloucestershire well done in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel
In Gloucestershire we are discovering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from motorists not being totally sure how to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to each other on the vehicle.
Now, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.
In the event that you find yourself in this scenario do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination company. Our technicians possess the practical knowledge and experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel will likely result in idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations pretty swiftly.
Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}
Management of Waste Fuel
Got an old fuel tank at the back of your premises containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in Gloucestershire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even numerous containers in a storage shed, provided that we can access it, we can empty it.
Out of Fuel Support
Run out of fuel in Swindon (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up the car if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill up your automobile. They will be able to deal with any of the typical troubles which may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Swindon - Swindon Fuel Drain
This was most definitely the night shift. It was about 2:30am and almost noone was around. It was pretty dead so far, and me and Ryan were sitting about looking through several old magazines. This was a rare calm time in Gloucestershire. It was indeed so quiet that when the phone eventually rang it made me jump! The person on the other end told me: "I just concluded my night shift and stupidly poured petrol in my Mazda by mistake". I got him to inform us where exactly he was and we headed out, arriving in Swindon under an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleared from the engine. He thanked us profusely for showing up so rapidly. As we were coming back home we spotted two ladies at the edge of the street who looked like they had a flat. So we stopped to change it, much to their delight.
