It was about six pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Dan and I were sitting going over the recent tennis, ready for the next telephone call to come in. Inevitably we received a call from a girl on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Tormarton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Volvo lease car. She was somewhat affected it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to worry, also that things like this often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a protected spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes away from us, we could arrive at the woman quickly. The bad fuel was taken out so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Even though we got really wet, it was all worth it to see her drive off contented and not so anxious.

Our Areas of Expertise :

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Gloucestershire we have discovered a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to people not being totally sure the right way to work with it (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained right away. And most definitely be careful not to start the car - not even to shift it to a parking area. If you did start the car you will in all probability need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important condition to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel can easily contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both cases quite expediently.

Be aware that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to parking bay we will be able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank placed at the back of your garden full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in Gloucestershire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a garage, assuming that we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Tormarton (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up the car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill up your vehicle. They will handle the most common issues that can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.
