It was about eight pm on a Saturday and although we were promised a rainless afternoon, it had not given up on pouring! Brian and I were sitting there commenting on the golf, prepared for the 6th job for the day to come in. Eventually we got the call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Thornbury and put petrol in her diesel Smart rental. She was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe that I have messed up the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly often happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a protected area and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance off from the office, we could reach her quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could return to the motel she was living at. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home calm and much less anxious. Yet another job in Gloucestershire well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Experience :

We can help you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In Diesel

How to handle it if you may have put Adblue in your Diesel tank? AdBlue is a liquid made out of a mixture of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%).It is definitely harmful to your vehicle's fuel system, especially any time you have had the engine running with Adblue in the diesel fuel tank. The moment the engine has been started the Adblue will undoubtedly be pulled into the fuel lines and will promptly begin to crystalise, resulting in disastrous and costly damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

Give us a call if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to correct every type of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious matter to take care of in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank can certainly cause idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out fully, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both cases pretty simply.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir at the rear of your premises with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial properties in Gloucestershire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a garage, as long as we can access it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Thornbury (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to refill your car. They will be able to deal with the normal troubles that can go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Thornbury - Thornbury Wrong Fuel Drain

A guy had broken down off a road in Thornbury. His MINI motor had stopped working and he had no clue what was awry till he realised he put unleaded in his diesel car. He rang us to get a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I didn't realise that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had got virtually no rest the day before and that must have been why.
