It was just after six pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't given up on raining! James and me were sitting talking over the football rankings, prepared for the sixth job of the day to arrive. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Hilcot End and filled petrol in her diesel Peugeot rental. The poor lady was rather irritated it seemed, telling me "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that such things do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected space and, seeing that it was just a short distance from the office, we were able to find the lady almost instantly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was living at. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off relaxed and not so apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Gloucestershire done well in my books!

Services We Offer:

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Gloucestershire we have seen an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially caused by people not understanding how to work with it (be aware: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at once. And definitely take care not to turn over the motor - not even to shift it to a parking spot. If you did start the car you will very likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important issue to address in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank will likely trigger idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both circumstances rather simply.

Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir laying in the rear of your premises with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and business properties in Gloucestershire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even a number of containers in a storage shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Hilcot End (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your automobile any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) to fill the car. They can also deal with any of the usual troubles which could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.
