It was before five pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and I were resting discussing the rugby rankings, at the ready for the 6th job that day to come in. Finally we received the call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Leyhill and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Fiat rental car by mistake. She was quite distressed apparently, telling me "I simply cannot believe I've ruined the car! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to fret, and that things like this regrettably do happen. She managed to relocate the car to a safe spot and, since it was no more than a few minutes away from the office, we were able to find the customer almost instantly.

Our Areas of Competency :

Below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Gloucestershire we have noticed a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of drivers not being aware of how to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the car.

So, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it right away. And obviously be careful not to start the engine - not even to move it to a parking area. If you did start the car you would very likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important situation to handle in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can easily contribute to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both cases fairly swiftly.

Remember though that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close to a car parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}
