It was before seven pm on a Friday and even though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ray and I were resting there commenting on the tennis, at the ready for the next telephone call to arrive. Eventually we got a phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Uckington and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel MG rental in error. The poor lady was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, saying "I can not believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to fret, and that things like this regrettably do happen. She had managed to get the car into a safe spot and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance away from where we were, we were able to reach the lady swiftly. The bad fuel was taken out so she could return to the motel she was staying at. Although we got very drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off calm and less worried. Yet another job in Gloucestershire done well in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Gloucestershire we have identified increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a result of people not knowing how to use it (important: it is 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 vehicle.

So, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it asap. And most definitely take care not to turn over the car - not even to move it to a parking area. In case you did start the car you would in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious matter to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol will likely produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both cases quite simply.

Keep in mind that if the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be wholly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

We have been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in Gloucestershire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even a number of drums in a garage, if we can access it, we can certainly empty it.

We will come to refill your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home.
