It was before seven pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and I were seated there going over the weekend's footy rankings, waiting for the 6th fuel drain that day to arrive. Eventually we got a phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Esso filling station in Nailsworth and filled petrol in a diesel Renault lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was pretty affected it seemed, telling me "I can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to fret, also that these things unfortunately often happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a protected spot and, because it was no more than a few minutes off from our van, we could find her rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home relaxed and less concerned. Another fuel drain in Gloucestershire well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Experience :

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Gloucestershire we have found increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of people being unsure of the way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because the product is primarily deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And certainly be careful not to turn over the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In case you have started the car you will in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious issue to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel can potentially trigger idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases pretty expediently.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to parking spot we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container laying at the back of the garden full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous private and business premises in Gloucestershire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in a garage, providing we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Nailsworth (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill up your car. They can also fix the standard issues which may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
