It was around ten pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and me were relaxing there talking about the recent sports rankings, ready for the sixth call to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Whaddon and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Volvo rental car. The poor thing was very affected apparently, telling me "I can not believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that these things regrettably can happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a secure area and, since it was only a short distance from the office, we were able to reach the woman rather quickly. The wrong fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home relaxed and much less stressed. Yet another job in Gloucestershire done well in my opinion!

Services We Offer:

Listed here are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Gloucestershire we have found progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of motorists not being totally sure how to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the car.

Now, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And most definitely be careful not to switch on the motor - not even to move it into a parking place. If you did start the vehicle you may most likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to deal with in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank can potentially result in idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances rather expediently.

Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car or truck parking bay we can access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank sitting at the rear of the garden with old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and business properties in Gloucestershire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we can reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Whaddon (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill the car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to refill your car. They will deal with any of the most common troubles that can accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
