It was around 6 pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped pouring! James and me were seated there talking over the recent tennis rankings, prepared for the 6th fuel drain of the day to come in. Eventually we had the phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Condicote and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel BMW hire car in error. The poor thing was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that these things often happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure area and, since it was only a short distance away from our van, we were able to get to the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive home satisfied and less concerned. One more job in Gloucestershire done well in my books!

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Gloucestershire we have identified an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of people being unsure of the way to to make use of (important: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the car.

So, what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car? As the product is mainly deionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And definitely be careful not to turn over the engine - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In the event that you have started the car you would probably need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a significant situation to take care of in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can certainly produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both circumstances very easily.

Keep in mind however that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be wholly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to an automobile parking spot we can reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Vehicle Misfuel Condicote - Condicote Wrong Fuel

A customer rang us from his place on a street in Condicote. He said, "My vehicle (a Lexus) is not running and is creating dreadful noises when I turn the key." He admitted that he put unleaded in his diesel car but then imagined he would remedy the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We showed up promptly, carried out the drain and filled it up once more with untainted Diesel. He told us he would be sure to advise people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to get it drained immediately.
