Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your car? We can resolve any associated issues.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Gloucestershire we are encountering a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly a result of drivers not understanding the right way to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As the product is predominantly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And of course take care not to crank the motor - not even to relocate it off of the pump. Assuming you have started the car you may almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol is going to contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both situations fairly expediently.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container sitting at the back of your premises full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and industrial premises in Gloucestershire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a garage, provided that we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in New Cheltenham (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up the car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and fill up the car. They will be able to deal with the common troubles which may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Drain New Cheltenham - New Cheltenham Petrol in Diesel

I appreciated a wonderful evening hiking on my off day and felt contented the next day as I headed out to help a young couple on holiday in New Cheltenham. They pulled over after putting petrol in their Peugeot, and the car was around an hour's travel away. I turned up at their location and smirked while I listened to the gal chastising her spouse for turning out to be so stupid. "Just how could you conceivably be able to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to explain that this goes on regularly in Gloucestershire and that it's truly nothing at all to be anxious about, but he all the same had an ear bashing by his better half. I felt sorry for the boy. In any case, I drained the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. Watching while they drove away I shouted farewell and considered what her indoors would say to me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never live it down!
