It was after ten pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and I were relaxing there talking over the recent rugby results, waiting for the next job that day to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Shorncote and put petrol in her diesel MINI rental. The unfortunate thing was fairly agitated apparently, crying "I simply can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that these things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe position and, as it was just a short distance from the office, we were able to reach the woman without delay. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive home calm and less apprehensive. Yet another job in Gloucestershire done well in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

In Gloucestershire we are noticing an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent caused by motorists being unsure of the right way to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Give us a call if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily attend to different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel can easily lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with fully, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both circumstances quite quickly.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car or truck parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank in the back of your garden containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and industrial premises in Gloucestershire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even several drums in a garage, as long as we can get to it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Shorncote (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your car in cases where you are stuck 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 pump prices) to fill up your automobile. They will be able to fix any of the usual issues that can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Shorncote - Shorncote Fuel Rescue

A motorist had broken down near a road in Shorncote. His Nissan car had ceased working and he'd no clue what was faulty right up until he noticed he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He rang us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I can't believe that I didn't detect that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had gotten very little rest the night before and that must have been the reason why.
