It was before ten pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ray and me were resting talking over the recent sports, prepared for the next telephone call for the day to come in. Eventually we received the call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Hampton Green and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Mercedes lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was very irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe I've wrecked the car! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to fret, and that such things often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a safe spot and, seeing as it was only a few miles away from the office, we were able to arrive at the woman fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive home contented and much less apprehensive. A job in Gloucestershire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Gloucestershire we have discovered a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to people not understanding the right way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it at once. And most definitely never crank the motor - not even to shift it into a parking spot. If you have started the vehicle you may very likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a significant issue to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel can potentially bring about idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both situations pretty quickly.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Got a fuel container lying in the rear of your premises full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and commercial properties in Gloucestershire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a storage shed, as long as we can get to it, we could certainly empty it.
