It was close to 7 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! James and me were seated there talking about the rugby, at the ready for the sixth call to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Stonehouse and filled petrol in her diesel Peugeot rental car in error. She was somewhat agitated apparently, telling me "I can not believe I have ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to worry, and that these things often happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a protected space and, because it was only a few miles off from the office, we were able to get to her right away. The incorrect fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got extremely wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home calm and not so anxious. Yet another job in Gloucestershire well done in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Gloucestershire we have seen a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a result of motorists being unsure of the way to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car? As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to deal with in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol may well trigger idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both situations pretty swiftly.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will likely be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel reservoir lying in the back of your premises containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in Gloucestershire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a shed, if we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.

We are able to help to refill your vehicle any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home.
