Services We Provide:

Below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

In Gloucestershire we have seen a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree stemming from drivers not being totally sure the right way to use it (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to each other on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at once. And of course don't start up the motor - not even to move it off of the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be an important matter to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank may bring about idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both cases pretty simply.

Keep in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to parking bay we can access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel reservoir lying at the rear of your garden full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and business premises in Gloucestershire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a shed, as long as we are able to access it, we can drain it for you.

Run out of fuel in Pitchcombe (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up your automobile in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill your car or truck. They are also able to deal with any of the usual issues which might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
