It was after five pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were relaxing discussing the golf, waiting for the 6th fuel drain that day to arrive. Before long we got the call from a lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Thornbury and filled petrol in her diesel Citroen hire car. The unfortunate thing was pretty agitated it seemed, stating "I cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to worry, and also that such things often happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a secure area and, since it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we were able to find her quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got pretty wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home relaxed and less concerned. A misfuel correction in Gloucestershire well done in my books!

Our Areas of Specialties:

Do you or your drivers frequently misfuel your car? We can fix any associated issues.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Gloucestershire we are encountering a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a result of drivers not knowing the way to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the car.

So, what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can attend to every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally an important condition to handle in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can cause idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both cases fairly easily.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to an automobile parking spot we can reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir in the rear of your garden with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in Gloucestershire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Thornbury (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill up the car. They can also take care of the common troubles which can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Thornbury - Thornbury Petrol in Diesel

A man rang us from his house on a street in Thornbury. He exclaimed, "My car (a Vauxhall) is not starting and is producing dreadful sounds when I flip the key." He confessed that he put petrol in his diesel car but then thought he would resolve the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, did the fuel drain and filled him up again with untainted Diesel. He said that he'd be absolutely sure to advise people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to get it cleaned out promptly.
