It was just after 10 pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and I were seated going over the weekend's tennis, ready for the 6th job to arrive. Eventually we got the call from a woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Upper Hill and put petrol in a diesel Audi rental. The poor lady was rather agitated it seemed, saying "I still can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to worry, and also that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to relocate the car into a secure position and, as it was just a short distance from where we were, we could find her right away. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could go home to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home contented and much less stressed. Yet another job in Gloucestershire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Gloucestershire we have discovered more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by people being unsure of the right way to use it (pay attention: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to fix different types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, can be an important condition to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel may produce idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both cases very simply.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir laying at the back of the garden with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and industrial properties in Gloucestershire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a shed, providing we can access it, we can drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Upper Hill (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill your car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to fill the car. They will deal with the usual troubles that may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Upper Hill - Upper Hill Petrol in Diesel

A motorist had conked out just near a street in Upper Hill. His Skoda motor had ceased operating and he'd no idea what was faulty until eventually he realised he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He rang us to get a fuel drain and that is when he explained to us: "I cannot believe that I didn't detect that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had gotten very little sleep the evening before and that must have been the reason why.
