Fuel Drain Whelford - Whelford Fuel Rescue
I enjoyed a great day hiking on my holiday and was feeling cheerful with myself the following day as I headed out to aid a young family who were vacationing in Whelford. They'd broken down after putting diesel into their BMW, and they were about half an hour away. I emerged at their position and smirked as I heard to the lady chastising her partner for being so daft. "Exactly how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this kind of thing comes to pass on a regular basis in Gloucestershire and that it's absolutely nothing to worry about, nevertheless he all the same got his ear bent. Poor lad. In any case, I drained the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some correct fuel. As they drove off I shouted good bye and considered what her indoors would say to me if ever I made the same mistake... I'd personally never live it down!

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:
AdBlue In Diesel
All over Gloucestershire we are noticing progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of drivers not being aware of the way to use it (remember: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the automobile.
Well, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.
Call us if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to handle all kinds of AdBlue contamination.
Fuel contaminated with water
Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important issue to address in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel can easily trigger idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances very easily.
Be aware however that so long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Testimonies from our own Whelford technicians:
Now I am certainly not that interested in doing the job weekends, and a while back was no different. I'd just come away from home following a fantastic Sunday roast cooked for me by the wife, and I was on my way to assist a fellow because he put the incorrect petrol in his Audi. He was stationed in Whelford and so it wouldn't be long before I reached him. Just as I arrived at the car and started work he told me "Thank the Lord! I stupidly had my thoughts on other things and failed to grasp that I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I inflicted any damage by simply starting it?" I explained truth be told there probably should not be any problems and that also I would personally get the wrong fuel drained as quickly as possible. Naturally I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and filled it with the correct fuel, and thus another happy customer could continue on their ride without the need for hassle. The man could hardly stop thanking me, and this helps make working on Sundays in Gloucestershire just that tiny bit better to me!
