It was just after ten pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Ray and me were resting talking over the weekend's footy rankings, at the ready for the sixth telephone call of the day to come in. Eventually we received a call from a young lady on a company trip who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Kingscote and put the wrong fuel in a diesel MG lease car. The poor lady was pretty affected it seemed, stating "I can't believe that I have ruined the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to fret, and that such things regrettably often happen. She was able to move the car to a safe area and, seeing as it was only a few miles away from us, we were able to find her quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off calm and not so anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Gloucestershire done well in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

In Gloucestershire we have discovered increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of people being unsure of the right way to work with it (take note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily handle all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to handle in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel will bring about idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both circumstances quite quickly.

You should know that as long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to parking bay we can access the storage and drain out the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank placed at the rear of your premises full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and industrial properties in Gloucestershire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in a shed, if we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Kingscote (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up your car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home.

Fuel Drain Kingscote - Kingscote Petrol in Diesel

A customer phoned us from his place on a close in Kingscote. He pronounced, "My car (a Toyota) is not running and is creating very bad sounds when I turn the key." He confessed that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle however believed he would remedy the issue by putting more Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, carried out the drain and filled it up once more with untainted Diesel. He told us he'd be certain to educate people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to have it drained promptly.
