It was about ten pm on a Wednesday and though we were assured a dry night, it had not stopped raining! Ray and I were relaxing there talking about the weekend's golf, waiting around for the next fuel drain of the day to come in. Before long we received the phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Uplands and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Jaguar lease car by mistake. The poor lady was rather affected it seemed, crying "I just can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that such things unfortunately often happen. She managed to relocate the car into a secure space and, seeing as it was only a few miles from where we were, we could find the woman fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to return to the motel she was living at.

Our Areas of Expertise :

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your car? We can resolve any related issues.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Gloucestershire we have discovered progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly thanks to drivers being unsure of how to use it (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And most certainly never switch on the car - not even to move it from the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a serious condition to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel will likely lead to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both cases pretty expediently.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will be totally wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to an automobile parking bay we will be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container laying at the back of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and business properties in Gloucestershire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a shed, assuming that we can get to it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Uplands (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a full Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your automobile any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill the car. They are also able to fix any of the normal issues which could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.
