It was close to 9 pm on a Friday and while we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining!

Inevitably we got a call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Wortley and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Smart rental car in error. The poor thing was somewhat agitated apparently, telling me "I cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!"

Assisting you get back on the road is our number 1 goal.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Gloucestershire we have identified increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a result of people not knowing the way to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Give us a call if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will correct all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to address in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel can easily trigger idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both cases fairly quickly.

Take note that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container placed in the rear of the garden full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and business premises in Gloucestershire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even numerous drums in a storage shed, as long as we can access it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Wortley (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your vehicle if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home.
