It was about five pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and I were seated there going over the sports rankings, at the ready for the next telephone call to come in. Inevitably we had the call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Upper Cam and put petrol in a diesel Ford rental by mistake. The poor lady was very troubled apparently, telling me "I still cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that these things regrettably often happen. She was able to relocate the car into a safe area and, seeing as it was only a few miles from the office, we could arrive at the lady almost instantly. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was living at.

Our Areas of Experience :

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

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Gloucestershire we are noticing increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to motorists not understanding how to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the car.

So, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely never start up the engine - not even to shift it to a parking area. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may probably need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious situation to take care of in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank can lead to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both cases very simply.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a vehicle parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank laying at the rear of your garden full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and commercial properties in Gloucestershire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a shed, as long as we can reach it, we can drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Upper Cam (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your automobile any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and refill your vehicle. They are also able to deal with any of the normal troubles that might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Upper Cam - Upper Cam Vehicle Misfuel

A man had broken down near a street in Upper Cam. His SEAT engine had stopped operating and he'd no idea what was faulty till he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel car. He rang us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I can not believe that I didn't detect that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had got very little sleep the night before and that must have been the key reason why.
