It was around five pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and I were sitting there going over the recent rugby rankings, waiting for the next job of the day to come in. Finally we had a call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Cheltenham and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Lexus rental. The poor lady was rather distressed apparently, saying "I can not believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that such things often happen. She had managed to move the car to a safe area and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we were able to find the lady rather quickly. The bad fuel was taken out so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive off relaxed and not so worried. One more fuel drain in Gloucestershire done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Competence :

Assisting you get back on the road is our main goal.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Gloucestershire we are discovering increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to motorists being unsure of the right way to work with it (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Any time you end up in this predicament do not panic! Call us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the technical knowledge and experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant condition to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel may well lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances very simply.

Remember however that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir placed in the back of the garden full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and business properties in Gloucestershire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a garage, providing we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Cheltenham (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to refill the car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your automobile. They are also able to handle the standard troubles which could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
