It was close to five pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and I were relaxing going over the recent sports rankings, waiting for the next telephone call of the day to arrive. In due time we had the phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Upper Morton and filled petrol in a diesel Citroen hire car in error. She was quite irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol car that I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that these things unfortunately do happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a protected spot and, seeing that it was only a few miles away from our van, we could get to her without delay. The wrong fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off relaxed and less worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Gloucestershire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Gloucestershire we have seen a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of motorists not being aware of the way to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because the product is mainly ionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And most certainly be careful not to switch on the vehicle - not even to move it off the pump. In the event that you have started the car you may likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a significant matter to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank is going to bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both cases very expediently.

Take note that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir lying in the back of your premises full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and business properties in Gloucestershire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of fuel in Upper Morton (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your vehicle if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and refill your automobile. They are also able to fix the most common troubles that might go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Upper Morton - Upper Morton Vehicle Misfuel

A person called us from Upper Morton saying he mistakenly piped petrol into his diesel Jaguar. "Unbelievable! I can't believe I put the wrong fuel in my diesel car!" It took the engineer approximately 50 minutes to fully drain the incorrect fuel from the car. He totally flushed the fuel lines, filter and pumps and after that put clean diesel in the vehicle. The customer was thrilled and it hadn't cost him dealer prices to have the task properly done.
