It was just before eight pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a dry night, it hadn't ceased pouring! Dan and me were seated going over the sports, ready for the seventh telephone call that day to arrive. In due time we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Esso filling station in Whaddon and filled petrol in a diesel Chevrolet rental car by mistake. She was very affected it seemed, crying "I can't believe I've messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to fret, plus that things like this can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a protected area and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance off from us, we were able to arrive at her quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the motel she was lodging at. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off calm and less worried. Yet another fuel drain in Gloucestershire well done in my books!

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Gloucestershire we are identifying progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a consequence of drivers not understanding the way to work with it (remember: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained right away. And absolutely do not start up the motor - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In case you did start the car you may very likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to take care of in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel can cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both circumstances pretty swiftly.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car or truck parking spot we can reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel container laying in the rear of your garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in Gloucestershire for the purpose of removing 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. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even a number of drums in a shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Whaddon (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your vehicle any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) and fill up your automobile. They will fix any of the common issues which can go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
