It was before ten pm on a Thursday and while we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ryan and I were seated there talking over the recent football, waiting around for the sixth telephone call for the day to arrive. Before long we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Alstone and put petrol in her diesel Volkswagen rental car in error. The poor thing was quite distressed apparently, telling me "I can not believe that I have destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that such things do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a secure position and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes from us, we could find her rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could go home to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off satisfied and less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Gloucestershire well done in my books!

Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any related issues.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to handle it in the event that you?ve put Adblue in your Diesel tank? AdBlue is a chemical made out of a blend of urea (32.5%) and ionized water.Adblue is actually damaging to your automobile's fuel system, especially in cases where you started the car with Adblue in your diesel fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been started the Adblue will likely be pushed into your fuel lines and will promptly begin to crystalise, triggering devastating and expensive harm to your automobile's fuel system.

In the case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out at once. And absolutely don't turn over the car - not even to relocate it into a parking area. If you did start the vehicle you will in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious issue to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel can result in idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations very swiftly.

Be aware though that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will likely be totally wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car parking bay we should be able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of the garden containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in Gloucestershire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a shed, provided that we can reach it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Alstone (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a full Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill the car any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) to refill the car. They are also able to fix the most common problems that could come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Alstone - Alstone Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had a terrific afternoon fishing on my afternoon off and felt contented with myself the following morning as I set off to aid a new couple who were away in Alstone. They had conked out after inserting diesel in their Fiat, and the car was around half an hour's travel away. I turned up at their location and laughed while I listened to the wife telling her partner off for actually being so foolish. "Just how could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this goes on continuously in Gloucestershire and that it's nothing to be concerned about, and yet he all the same had an ear bashing. Poor lad. Anyhow, I drained out all the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the right fuel. While they drove off I mouthed so long and thought about what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I made the exact same error... I would never hear the end of it!
