It was after 6 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were promised a dry day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ryan and me were resting commenting on the recent footy, waiting for the 8th call to come in. Before long we had a call from a woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Boscombe and put petrol in a diesel Renault hire car. The unfortunate lady was quite affected apparently, telling me "I cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that things like this regrettably can happen. She managed to move the car to a secure area and, since it was just a few minutes from the office, we were able to arrive at the woman rather quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was residing in. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away relaxed and less worried. Another fuel drain in Wiltshire well done in my mind!

Services We Provide:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Wiltshire we have noticed progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from people being unsure of how to work with it (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to each other on the car.

Now, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And of course don't turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. If you have started the car you may very likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious issue to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel is likely to bring about idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations quite easily.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container placed at the rear of the garden containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial premises in Wiltshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in a garage, assuming that we can get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Boscombe (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Wiltshire Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill the car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill your car. They are also able to fix any of the normal issues which may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Boscombe - Boscombe Fuel Rescue

I had enjoyed a fantastic evening fishing during my holiday and was feeling pleased with myself the following working day as I set off to assist a new family who were away in Boscombe. They'd stopped after adding diesel in their Fiat, and the car was around an hour's travel away. I showed up at their position and smirked to myself as I heard to the lady telling off her hubby for actually being so daft. "Just how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this situation takes place frequently in Wiltshire and that it's truly absolutely nothing to be concerned about, but he all the same had his ear bent by his missus. Unfortunate boy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some proper fuel. Watching while they drove down the road I mouthed bon voyage and wondered what her indoors would do to me in the event that I made the very same mistake... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
