It was after six pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Dan and me were relaxing going over the weekend's football results, waiting around for the next job of the day to arrive. In due time we received a call from a girl on a company expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Chipmans Platt and put petrol in a diesel Mitsubishi rental. She was rather irritated it seemed, telling me "I just can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to fret, plus that things like this regrettably can happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a secure space and, because it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we were able to arrive at the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could return to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive off calm and a lot less anxious. One more fuel drain in Gloucestershire done well in my mind!

We can help you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Gloucestershire we are identifying more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent thanks to motorists not understanding how to work with it (remember: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because the product is mainly deionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will handle every type of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant matter to take care of in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel is going to produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both circumstances very quickly.

Take note that any time the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to an automobile parking spot we will be able to access the storage and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir lying at the back of the garden containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial premises in Gloucestershire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered 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 mobile bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a garage, if we can reach it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Chipmans Platt (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a full Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) to refill your automobile. They are also able to fix the standard issues which might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Chipmans Platt - Chipmans Platt Fuel Rescue

A man had conked out just off a road in Chipmans Platt. His Vauxhall motor had stopped working and he had no idea what was wrong right up until he realised he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I can not believe that I did not detect that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had got absolutely no sleep the night before and that could have been why.
