It was before 7 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! James and me were relaxing talking over the weekend's sports results, ready for the 6th fuel drain of the day to come in. Inevitably we had a call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Teddington Hands and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Kia rental car. She was rather affected apparently, crying "I still can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that things like this happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a safe spot and, because it was no more than a few minutes away from the office, we could find her without delay. The bad fuel was removed and she could go home to the motel she was living in. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive home satisfied and not so anxious. One more fuel drain in Gloucestershire well done in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Gloucestershire we have seen more and more examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent stemming from people being unsure of the way to to make use of (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out immediately. And obviously take care not to start up the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. In the instance that you have started the car you will almost certainly have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a significant matter to deal with in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol can contribute to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations pretty easily.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to parking spot we will be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir laying in the back of your garden full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and business premises in Gloucestershire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a few containers in a storage shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Teddington Hands (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill the car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) to refill the car. They will deal with the typical troubles that can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Teddington Hands - Teddington Hands Wrong Fuel Drain

I enjoyed a wonderful afternoon fishing during my holiday and felt contented the following working day as I headed out to aid a new family holidaying in Teddington Hands. They had broken down after adding diesel in their Toyota, and the car was about an hour away. I got there at their position and smirked to myself as I listened to the gal telling her man off for turning out to be so foolish. "How could you possibly find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to explain that this happens constantly in Gloucestershire and that it's absolutely nothing to worry about, even so he still had an ear bashing by his missus. Unlucky guy. Anyway, I drained out the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching while they drove down the road I waved good-bye and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if I made the same error... I would personally never live it down!
