It was before seven pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a rainless evening, it had not ceased pouring! Ryan and me were relaxing commenting on the weekend's tennis results, at the ready for the 8th telephone call of the day to arrive. Eventually we got a call from a lady on a business expedition who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Rodford and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel MG rental car. She was very troubled it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to worry, also that such things regrettably often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected spot and, because it was only a short distance away from the office, we could find the woman almost instantly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing at.

We are ready to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Gloucestershire we are identifying a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly a result of people not being aware of how to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it asap. And definitely don't start the car - not even to relocate it into a parking area. In cases where you did start the car you may most likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol will often produce idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both situations pretty swiftly.

Be aware that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container laying in the back of your garden containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and business properties 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 legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in a shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Rodford (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill the car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up the car. They will fix the usual issues which may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Rodford - Rodford Wrong Fuel Drain

A man phoned us from his residence on a close in Rodford. He explained, "My car (a Vauxhall) is not starting up and is creating very bad sounds when I flip the ignition." He said that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then reckoned he would resolve the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, did the fuel drain and filled him up once more with untainted Diesel. He told us after that he would be absolutely sure to advise people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to have it drained right away.
