It was after ten pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! James and I were resting discussing the golf, prepared for the seventh telephone call to come in. Before long we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Preston and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Citroen rental car in error. The unfortunate lady was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and that these things regrettably often happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a secure space and, seeing that it was just a few minutes away from the office, we could get to her swiftly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the hotel she was lodging at. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off relaxed and not so apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in Gloucestershire done well in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Gloucestershire we are noticing increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of motorists not understanding the way to work with it (take note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly do not crank the motor - not even to shift it off of the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may probably have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a serious condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol is going to trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not addressed correctly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both circumstances rather quickly.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank placed in the rear of your garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and business premises in Gloucestershire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a garage, as long as we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Preston (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill the car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill up your car or truck. They will take care of any of the common troubles that might accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Preston - Preston Fuel Rescue

I'd had a wonderful evening golfing during my holiday and felt contented the next morning as I set out to aid a young couple away in Preston. They'd broken down after putting diesel into their Volvo, and were close to an hour away. I turned up at their position and laughed to myself while I listened to the girl telling her husband off for turning out to be so stupid. "Exactly how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this problem happens on daily basis in Gloucestershire and that it is absolutely nothing to stress about, nevertheless he still had his ear bent. I felt sorry for the boy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some right fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed farewell and wondered what my missus would tell me in the event that I made the same mistake... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!
