It was just after 5 pm on a Friday and even though we were promised a rainless night, it had not ceased raining! Ray and I were resting commenting on the recent footy results, waiting for the seventh telephone call that day to come in. In due time we got a phone call from a girl on a business trip who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Popes Hill and put petrol in her diesel Honda hire car by mistake. The poor thing was rather affected it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that such things unfortunately happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a protected area and, since it was just a few miles from the office, we could find the lady without delay. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could go home to the Travelodge she was living in. Although we got very wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Gloucestershire well done in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

In Gloucestershire we have identified progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly stemming from motorists not knowing how to use it (be aware: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to handle different types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important issue to take care of in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol may well bring about idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both circumstances fairly easily.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank lying at the rear of your garden containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and commercial premises in Gloucestershire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a storage shed, as long as we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Popes Hill (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) to refill your vehicle. They will fix any of the typical issues that may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
