Here are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Gloucestershire we are identifying more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of drivers not being aware of how to to make use of (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it immediately. And of course take care not to crank the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. If you have started the vehicle you would most likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to take care of in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol can produce idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out properly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations rather quickly.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one is going to be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank laying at the rear of your garden with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial premises in Gloucestershire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even a number of drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Patchway (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) and fill up your car or truck. They will be able to handle the typical problems which might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Patchway - Patchway Wrong Fuel

I'd had a wonderful afternoon fishing during the weekend and felt pleased the following working day as I headed out to assist a new family who were on vacation in Patchway. They stopped after inserting the wrong fuel in their SEAT, and the car was about an hour away. I showed up at their location and smirked while I heard to the lady telling off her partner for turning out to be so stupid. "How could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this comes to pass everyday in Gloucestershire and that it's actually absolutely nothing to worry about, however he still had his ear bent. Unfortunate chap. In any case, I drained out all of the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted hasta la vista and wondered what my missus would do to me if I made the exact same error... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!
