It was about 10 pm on a Monday and although we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were seated there talking about the football rankings, waiting for the sixth call of the day to come in. Eventually we received a call from a lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Brinkworth and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Skoda lease car in error. The poor lady was very troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I can not believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was running a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that these things sadly often happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a safe position and, as it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we could find the woman almost instantly. The bad fuel was taken out so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact we got very soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away calm and not so concerned. A fuel drain in Wiltshire done well in my books!

Our Areas of Experience :

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Wiltshire we have discovered more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly a result of drivers not understanding how to to make use of (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out immediately. And obviously take care not to start the engine - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol will bring about idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both situations pretty swiftly.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel reservoir lying in the back of your garden full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and commercial properties in Wiltshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even some containers in a garage, provided that we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Brinkworth (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Wiltshire Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill the car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to fill up the car. They will handle any of the standard issues which may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.
