It was just before ten pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and I were resting discussing the rugby, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain that day to arrive. Finally we had a phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Hartpury and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Suzuki rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was very affected it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe that I've ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to fret, and also that these things regrettably do happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a protected spot and, since it was only a short distance away from our van, we were able to reach her quickly.

Our Services:

Below are the top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

What to do in the event that you may have put Adblue into a Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a chemical that?s made from a mix of deionized water (67.5%) and urea.It can be devastating to your automobile's fuel system, especially if you started the car with Adblue in the diesel tank. Whenever the engine has been switched on the Adblue will likely be dragged into the fuel lines and will swiftly start to crystalise, leading to disastrous and costly damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

In case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it right away. And most certainly take care not to crank the car - not even to shift it into a parking bay. If perhaps you did start the car you may almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a serious situation to address in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the fuel can certainly cause idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations rather quickly.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a car or truck parking bay we can reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Fuel Rescue Hartpury - Hartpury Vehicle Misfuel

I had a great afternoon hiking during my holiday and felt pleased with myself the next morning as I set out to help a young family who were away in Hartpury. They'd broken down after adding the wrong fuel into their Volvo, and the car was roughly half an hour's travel away. I arrived at their location and smiled as I heard to the girl chastising her man for being so stupid. "Just how could you possibly find a way to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this comes to pass continuously in Gloucestershire and that it's nothing at all to fret about, and yet he yet still had an ear bashing. I felt genuine sympathy for the chap. Anyhow, I removed all the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the right fuel. As they drove off I waved hasta la vista and pondered on what her indoors would do to me if I made the very same blunder... I would never ever live it down!
