Do you or your employees often misfuel your car? We can solve any associated issues.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Gloucestershire we are finding a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a result of drivers not knowing the way to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out asap. And most certainly never start the vehicle - not even to move it off of the pump. If you did start the car you may almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant matter to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel will often lead to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations pretty swiftly.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will probably be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir sitting in the back of your garden with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and industrial premises in Gloucestershire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps some drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Icomb (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill the car if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up your car. They will take care of any of the typical troubles that can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
