It was after ten pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and I were relaxing there commenting on the weekend's sports, at the ready for the seventh telephone call for the day to come in. In due time we had the call from a young lady on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Upper Morton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Chevrolet rental car. The unfortunate lady was quite troubled apparently, saying "I cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to worry, also that these things unfortunately do happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a protected spot and, as it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to find the woman almost instantly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact we got really wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive off satisfied and less stressed. Another fuel drain in Gloucestershire done well in my opinion!

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Gloucestershire we are identifying a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from drivers not being totally sure the way to work with it (important: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what's the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out at once. And most certainly never turn over the vehicle - not even to relocate it off the pump. If you did start the vehicle you may most likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to handle in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol can trigger idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both circumstances fairly expediently.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel reservoir laying at the back of your premises containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial properties in Gloucestershire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a storage shed, providing we can get to it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Upper Morton (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill your car or truck. They are also able to take care of the usual problems that may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Upper Morton - Upper Morton Fuel Drain

Last friday a driver contacted us because his Kia stopped working along a street in Upper Morton.

It was really early in the day and our technician, who resides close by, got to him in approximately 20 minutes. We managed to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in the vehicle. "Genuine thanks to you for your timely response, particularly at 5 a.m., I appreciate it."
