It was around ten pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were seated talking about the rugby, at the ready for the seventh telephone call to arrive. Before long we had a phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Bourton-on-the-Water and put petrol in her diesel BMW lease car. The unfortunate thing was fairly irritated it seemed, telling me "I can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that such things unfortunately do happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a protected spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes away from the office, we were able to find the lady without delay. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging at. Although we got really drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. A job in Gloucestershire well done in my books!

Our Fields of Expertise:

Listed below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Gloucestershire we have identified progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly thanks to motorists not being totally sure the right way to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Should you discover youself to be in this position do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our experts have got the technical competence and experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important issue to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel can potentially contribute to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both situations pretty quickly.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near to parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank laying in the back of your premises containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and business properties in Gloucestershire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a shed, as long as we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Bourton-on-the-Water (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill your car. They will be able to take care of the typical problems which can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Bourton-on-the-Water - Bourton-on-the-Water Petrol in Diesel
