Services We Offer:

Below are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

In Gloucestershire we have identified progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to people not understanding how to use it (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Call us in the event that you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to take care of all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to take care of in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel will often cause idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both situations fairly quickly.

Bear in mind that if the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to an automobile parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel container in the back of your garden with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial premises in Gloucestershire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even numerous drums in a storage shed, assuming that we can reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Tunley (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill the car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and refill your vehicle. They can also deal with the usual problems that can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Tunley - Tunley Wrong Fuel in Car

I had a perfect afternoon golfing on my afternoon off and felt cheerful the following day as I set off to help a new family vacationing in Tunley. They had pulled over after adding petrol into their Fiat, and were around an hour's travel away. I turned up at their location and smiled while I heard to the lady chastising her partner for being so stupid. "Exactly how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this situation happens frequently in Gloucestershire and that it's in reality absolutely nothing to be anxious about, however he still got his ear bent. Poor chap. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted goodbye and considered what my wife would say to me if perhaps I made the very same error... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!
