It was close to 10 pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and me were resting there going over the recent golf results, waiting for the sixth fuel drain of the day to arrive. Before long we had the call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the BP filling station in Coleford and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Lexus rental. The poor lady was rather troubled it seemed, stating "I just can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to worry, and also that these things can happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe position and, since it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we could get to the woman almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could get back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away contented and much less worried. Yet another job in Somerset done well in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

In Somerset we are noticing more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by people not knowing the right way to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If perhaps you discover youself to be in this situation don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination company. Our technicians have got the technical competence and experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious condition to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank may cause idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases very simply.

Remember however that if the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir laying in the rear of your garden full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and business premises in Somerset for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in a garage, if we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Coleford (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your vehicle if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to refill your vehicle. They will fix any of the most common troubles that might go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Coleford - Coleford Fuel Drain

A customer had stopped just near a road in Coleford. His Ford car had stopped running and he had no idea what was the problem until eventually he noticed he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that is when he explained to us: "I cannot believe that I didn't detect that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He stated that he had gotten virtually no rest the night before and that must have been the reason.
