It was just after ten pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a rainless day, it had not given up on pouring! Dan and I were seated there talking about the weekend's golf, ready for the 8th telephone call that day to arrive. Before long we had the call from a young lady on a company trip who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Tarlton and put petrol in a diesel Nissan rental. She was quite distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I just can't believe that I have ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that these things do happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a secure spot and, since it was only a short distance off from where we were, we were able to reach the woman almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive off calm and not so worried. Yet another fuel drain in Gloucestershire well done in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

All over Gloucestershire we are identifying progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly caused by motorists not being aware of the right way to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And of course do not start up the engine - not even to move it into a parking area. If you have started the car you may in all probability need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important condition to handle in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank may well result in idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both circumstances fairly easily.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking bay we can access the storage and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container lying at the back of your garden full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and industrial premises in Gloucestershire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a garage, assuming that we can access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Tarlton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill the car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) and refill the car. They can also fix the standard issues that could come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.
