It was just before 7 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were relaxing commenting on the weekend's football results, waiting around for the 8th telephone call for the day to come in. Before long we got the call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Gretton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Volvo rental car. She was quite affected apparently, telling me "I still can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to fret, also that things like this sadly can happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a secure spot and, because it was no more than a few minutes away from us, we were able to find the woman quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could once again go back to the motel she was lodging in.

Our Areas of Expertise :

Listed here are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Gloucestershire we have encountered progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of drivers being unsure of how to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to one another on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it immediately. And obviously take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the car you would very likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important condition to take care of in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol will likely contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both circumstances quite easily.

Take note that any time the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel tank in the back of your garden full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and commercial properties in Gloucestershire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several drums in a garage, provided that we are able to get to it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Gretton (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill your car or truck. They will be able to take care of any of the typical problems that might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Gretton - Gretton Wrong Fuel in Car

A man had conked out just off a street in Gretton. His Porsche motor had stopped functioning and he'd no clue what was wrong until eventually he realised he put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He called us to get a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I can not believe that I didn't realise that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had gotten virtually no rest the night before and that must have been the reason why.
