It was about 7 pm on a Friday and though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were resting going over the weekend's golf rankings, waiting for the sixth call to arrive. Finally we got the call from a lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Chipping Sodbury and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Honda hire car in error. She was somewhat irritated apparently, stating "I simply cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to worry, plus that these things sadly often happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a safe spot and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance from our van, we were able to find the customer right away. The bad fuel was drained and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Although we got really wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off relaxed and much less anxious. One more job in Gloucestershire well done in my mind!

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

How to proceed in the event that you may have poured Adblue into your Diesel tank? Adblue is actually harmful to your car's fuel system, specifically if you have had the engine running with Adblue in your diesel fuel tank. The moment the engine has been switched on the Adblue will be pulled into the fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, causing catastrophic and costly damage to your car's fuel system.

In the case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And definitely be careful not to switch on the engine - not even to move it from the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to deal with in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can potentially lead to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both circumstances rather swiftly.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car or truck parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container placed at the back of your garden containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and commercial properties in Gloucestershire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a garage, assuming that we can reach it, we can drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Chipping Sodbury (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill the car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and refill your car or truck. They will be able to take care of the most common troubles which may go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Chipping Sodbury - Chipping Sodbury Fuel Rescue

A man contacted us from his home on a street in Chipping Sodbury. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a Peugeot) is not starting and is generating terrible noises when I turn the ignition." He said that he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would resolve the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We showed up promptly, performed the fuel drain and filled it up once more with untainted Diesel. He told us after that he'd be sure to educate people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to have it drained promptly.
