It was around seven pm on a Wednesday and though we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Dan and I were sitting there commenting on the recent tennis, waiting around for the next fuel drain to come in. Before long we had the call from a lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Alderton Fields and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel SEAT hire car by mistake. The poor thing was fairly agitated it seemed, stating "I can not believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that these things do happen. She managed to relocate the car to a protected position and, as it was only a few minutes off from us, we were able to find the woman almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got extremely wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home relaxed and not so worried. One more job in Gloucestershire well done in my opinion!

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Gloucestershire we are identifying more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of drivers not knowing the right way to use it (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Contact us if it turns out you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to correct all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important situation to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel can potentially result in idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both cases rather swiftly.

Be aware that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container placed at the rear of your premises with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial premises in Gloucestershire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in an outbuilding, providing we can get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Alderton Fields (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up the car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and refill your car. They are also able to fix the standard issues which could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Alderton Fields - Alderton Fields Vehicle Misfuel

The other day a youngster telephoned us after his Lexus ground to a halt in the middle of a street in Alderton Fields. He had by accident put unleaded in his diesel motor and managed to get so far as the street before having to pull over. It was still early in the day and our technician, who resides locally, got to him in approximately a quarter hour. We managed to drain the wrong fuel and put clean diesel back in the car. "Many kudos to you for your fast response, and in particular at 5 a.m., I truly appreciate it."
