Our Areas of Competence :

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

All over Gloucestershire we have encountered a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of people not being aware of the way to use it (pay attention: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And of course take care not to turn over the car - not even to shift it off of the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may very likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important issue to handle in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol will often contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both cases quite easily.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel container sitting in the back of your garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in Gloucestershire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in a shed, if we are able to access it, we are able to empty it.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Ampney St Mary (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill the car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) and fill your car or truck. They can also deal with the usual issues which might go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Ampney St Mary - Ampney St Mary Petrol in Diesel

I'd had a fantastic day golfing on my off day and was feeling satisfied the following working day as I headed out to help a new family who were away in Ampney St Mary. They'd stopped after putting the wrong fuel in their Kia, and they were about half an hour away. I got there at their location and smirked as I heard to the woman telling her partner off for turning out to be so stupid. "Just how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this problem takes place frequently in Gloucestershire and that it's actually nothing at all to fret about, nevertheless he yet still had his ear bent. Unfortunate guy. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some right fuel. While watching them drive off I mouthed good bye and wondered what her indoors would ask me if I made the very same error... I'd personally never live it down!
