Petrol in your diesel car in Marshborough? You've come to the right place. We are here to assist you in this hour of need and get you going once more with our professional wrong fuel removal assistance.

It was just before 5 pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and me were resting going over the golf results, prepared for the next fuel drain that day to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Marshborough and filled petrol in a diesel Citroen hire car by mistake. She was pretty agitated it seemed, crying "I can not believe I have messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that things like this do happen. She managed to get the car into a protected spot and, since it was just a few minutes away from where we were, we could get to the customer almost instantly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away satisfied and less worried. A misfuel correction in Kent well done in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Kent we are finding increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially thanks to people not knowing the right way to work with it (take note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us in the event that you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will attend to all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely an important matter to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank can produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases pretty swiftly.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near to an automobile parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel tank placed at the back of your premises with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in Kent for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a storage shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we can empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Marshborough (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Kent Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your car if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to fill up your car. They will be able to take care of any of the standard problems that could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Marshborough - Marshborough Fuel Rescue

A person phoned us from Marshborough to say he had stupidly piped unleaded in to his diesel Fiat. "What a pain! How could I put unleaded in my lovely diesel car!" It took our engineer approximately 50 minutes to completely drain the incorrect fuel from the car. He completely cleaned the fuel lines, filter and pumps and then put clean diesel in the car. The customer was happy and it hadn't cost him dealership rates to have the work properly performed.
