It was just after 8 pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on pouring! Paul and I were sitting there talking over the weekend's football rankings, ready for the 6th call for the day to come in. Inevitably we received the call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the Esso filling station in Baverstock and put petrol in a diesel MG rental car. The unfortunate lady was fairly distressed apparently, saying "I still cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to worry, and that things like this regrettably often happen. She managed to get the car to a protected area and, seeing that it was only a few miles from our van, we were able to reach her quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home relaxed and less stressed. One more fuel drain in Wiltshire done well in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Wiltshire we have found more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly stemming from drivers not knowing the right way to work with it (be aware: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it at once. And certainly take care not to crank the engine - not even to shift it into a parking area. If perhaps you have started the car you will very likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious situation to address in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol may result in idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both circumstances rather expediently.

Keep in mind that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will likely be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to an automobile parking spot we can access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank sitting in the back of the garden with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and industrial properties in Wiltshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a garage, provided that we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Baverstock (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete Wiltshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your vehicle if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and fill up your vehicle. They are also able to fix any of the common troubles that might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Baverstock - Baverstock Wrong Fuel Drain

Last week a customer phoned us after his Peugeot ground to a halt in the middle of a street in Baverstock. He had accidentally put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle and was only able to drive so far as the road before being forced to give up. It was in the early hours of the day and our technical engineer, who lives locally, was with him in less than ten minutes. We were able to drain the wrong fuel and put clean diesel yet again into the car. "Thank you for your fast response, and in particular at 4 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."
