It was around 9 pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a dry day, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Ryan and I were sitting commenting on the recent tennis, waiting for the sixth call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we got the call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Minchinhampton and filled petrol in a diesel Vauxhall hire car by mistake. She was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to fret, plus that things like this regrettably happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a protected position and, as it was no more than a few miles from our van, we could arrive at the woman swiftly. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off satisfied and a lot less concerned. Another job in Gloucestershire well done in my opinion!

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Gloucestershire we are discovering a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially as a result of motorists not knowing the right way to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And certainly do not turn over the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. In cases where you did start the car you may likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly an important situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel will often contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases pretty swiftly.

Take note that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container placed in the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and commercial properties in Gloucestershire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even some drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it for you.
