It was close to 10 pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't ceased raining! Brian and me were seated there discussing the recent golf, at the ready for the next call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we received the call from a girl on a company trip who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in The Batch and filled petrol in a diesel Volkswagen hire car by mistake. She was rather agitated apparently, crying "I can't believe that I have ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to worry, and that things like this unfortunately often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe position and, because it was no more than a few miles from where we were, we could arrive at the customer without delay. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the motel she was staying in. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off satisfied and less concerned. A misfuel correction in Gloucestershire well done in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Gloucestershire we have identified a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to motorists not understanding how to to make use of (remember: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And most certainly don't turn over the motor - not even to move it to a parking spot. Assuming you have started the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol can easily lead to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both situations rather quickly.

You should know that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank laying at the rear of your premises full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in Gloucestershire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a storage shed, providing we can reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in The Batch (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up the car any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and refill your car. They are also able to handle any of the standard problems which could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain The Batch - The Batch Vehicle Misfuel

I had enjoyed a wonderful evening cycling during my day off and felt cheerful with myself the following working day as I set off to assist a new couple who were vacationing in The Batch. They had broken down after adding petrol into their Dacia, and were roughly half an hour's travel away. I got there at their position and smirked to myself as I listened to the gal berating her spouse for turning out to be so silly. "Just how could you even find a way to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this kind of thing takes place on a regular basis in Gloucestershire and that it is nothing at all to stress about, but he yet still had an ear bashing. I felt sorry for the guy. In any case, I drained out all the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved goodbye and pondered on what her indoors would do to me if ever I made the very same mistake... I would never hear the end of it!
