It was after 9 pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and I were relaxing going over the recent football, ready for the 8th fuel drain of the day to come in. Before long we had the call from a woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Chilmark and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Dacia lease car by mistake. The poor lady was quite agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that such things unfortunately happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a protected spot and, as it was only a few minutes off from the office, we could arrive at the customer right away. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away relaxed and less concerned. A fuel drain in Wiltshire done well in my mind!

Do you or your employees often misfuel your car? We can fix any related issues.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Wiltshire we have discovered a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by drivers being unsure of the right way to use it (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because the product is mainly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out right away. And certainly do not turn over the engine - not even to move it into a parking bay. If perhaps you have started the car you will almost certainly have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol will likely lead to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both cases quite quickly.

Take note however that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to an automobile parking spot we can gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir placed at the back of the garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and business premises in Wiltshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Chilmark (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Wiltshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill your car if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) and refill your vehicle. They will be able to handle the normal troubles which can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Chilmark - Chilmark Wrong Fuel Drain

The other day a man called us after his Jaguar stopped working in the middle of a street in Chilmark. He had unintentionally put unleaded in the diesel car and was only able to drive to the street before having to give up. It was really early in the day and our technician, who stays nearby, reached him in about 10 minutes. We were able to get rid of the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel back into the car. "Thank you for your fast response, particularly at 1 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."
