Our Services:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Gloucestershire we have encountered progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of motorists not understanding the way to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And certainly don't turn over the engine - not even to relocate it away from the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will most likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant matter to address in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol is likely to trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both circumstances very expediently.

Remember that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of your premises full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and industrial properties in Gloucestershire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a number of containers in a shed, if we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Moorend (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill your car any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and refill your car. They can also handle the normal troubles which could go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Moorend - Moorend Petrol in Diesel

I had enjoyed a terrific evening hiking on my holiday and was feeling contented the following morning as I was on the way to assist a young couple away in Moorend. They broken down after filling the wrong fuel into their MG, and were approximately half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their car and smirked to myself as I listened to the lady telling her husband off for actually being so confused. "Exactly how could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I attempted to explain that this kind of thing takes place quite frequently in Gloucestershire and that it's in reality nothing to be anxious about, and yet he all the same got an earful by his better half. I felt sorry for the boy. At any rate, I drained out all the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some proper fuel. While watching them drive away I waved good bye and considered what her indoors would tell me in the event that I did the same thing... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!
