It was around eight pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and me were seated there discussing the tennis results, prepared for the next telephone call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we got a call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Wibdon and filled petrol in a diesel Fiat rental car. The unfortunate lady was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe I've ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to fret, and also that things like this regrettably happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a secure position and, because it was no more than a few miles away from us, we could reach the customer almost instantly. The wrong fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Even though we got really wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive home relaxed and much less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Gloucestershire done well in my mind!

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Gloucestershire we are identifying a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly caused by motorists not being totally sure the right way to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the car.

Now, what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? As the product is mostly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it at once. And certainly take care not to turn over the engine - not even to shift it off of the pump. In the event that you have started the car you would almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious matter to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol can easily cause idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases very easily.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir at the back of your premises full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in Gloucestershire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a shed, assuming that we can get to it, we can empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Wibdon (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) to fill up the car. They can also handle the normal problems which could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Wibdon - Wibdon Fuel Drain

A week ago a man called us after his Ford ground to a halt along a street in Wibdon. He had by mistake put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle and had managed to drive so far as the street before having to halt. It was early in the day and our engineer, who stays close by, reached him in less than 10 minutes. We were able to take out the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel back in to the vehicle. "Thank you for your immediate response, and in particular at 4 a.m., I really appreciate it."
