Services We Offer:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Gloucestershire we have identified increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially thanks to people not being totally sure the right way to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out at once. And most definitely don't switch on the car - not even to move it to a parking place. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious issue to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel will likely lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both circumstances pretty easily.

Be aware though that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank sitting in the rear of the garden full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and business premises in Gloucestershire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even some drums in a garage, as long as we can reach it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Woodfield (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) to fill your vehicle. They will deal with the typical troubles that can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
