It was after ten pm on a Monday and although we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were seated there commenting on the weekend's footy rankings, waiting around for the 6th telephone call that day to come in. In due time we received the call from a lovely women on a business trip who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Cleverton and filled petrol in a diesel Nissan hire car. She was rather troubled it seemed, crying "I still cannot believe that I've messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to fret, also that these things regrettably do happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a protected area and, since it was only a short distance from our van, we were able to find the lady fairly quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the hotel she was lodging at.

Services We Deliver:

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

AdBlue In Diesel

How to handle it in case you have poured Adblue into a Diesel tank? AdBlue is a chemical that is made out of a mix of urea and deionized water.It can be damaging to your car's fuel system, particularly in cases where you have had the engine running with Adblue in your tank. Once the engine has been switched on the Adblue will undoubtedly be squirted into the fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, causing devastating and expensive harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

In the event that you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And of course do not start up the engine - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a serious condition to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank will result in idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases fairly easily.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will likely be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking bay we can reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container at the rear of the garden full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial properties in Wiltshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a shed, if we are able to access it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Cleverton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete Wiltshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill the car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) and fill the car. They will be able to take care of the normal problems that could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Cleverton - Cleverton Petrol in Diesel

I'd had a terrific day fishing on my off day and was feeling delighted with myself the next day as I was en route to assist a young couple holidaying in Cleverton. They had pulled over after filling the wrong fuel in their Toyota, and they were around half an hour's travel away. I turned up at their position and smiled while I heard to the woman berating her hubby for being so stupid. "Just how could you conceivably be able to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this takes place constantly in Wiltshire and that it's nothing at all to worry about, nonetheless he in spite of everything got his ear bent. Poor boy. Anyhow, I drained out all of the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some proper fuel. Watching them drive off I waved hasta la vista and considered what my wife would tell me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I'd under no circumstances live it down!
