It was just before eight pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were seated there commenting on the recent rugby rankings, waiting for the 6th call for the day to come in. Eventually we received the call from a lovely women on a company trip who had gone to the Esso filling station in Broadrock and filled petrol in a diesel Ford lease car in error. She was quite distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that these things sadly do happen. She had managed to move the car into a secure area and, seeing as it was only a few minutes off from our van, we could get to the lady swiftly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off contented and a lot less anxious. Another misfuel correction in Gloucestershire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Gloucestershire we have encountered progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly a result of motorists not being aware of how to use it (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained immediately. And certainly be careful not to switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious matter to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol is likely to produce idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both situations pretty easily.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank in the back of the garden with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial premises in Gloucestershire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several drums in an outbuilding, provided that we can get to it, we can empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Broadrock (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to fill up your car or truck. They are also able to deal with any of the standard issues which might go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Broadrock - Broadrock Wrong Fuel

A man called us from his place on a close in Broadrock. He said, "My car (a Vauxhall) is not starting and is generating terrible sounds when I flip the ignition." He confessed that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then imagined he would remedy the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We got there quickly, carried out the fuel drain and filled him up once again with untainted Diesel. He said he would be absolutely sure to inform people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to get it drained promptly.
