It was just after ten pm on a Friday and although we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and I were resting there talking about the rugby results, at the ready for the next job for the day to come in. Finally we received the call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Collingbourne Kingston and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel BMW hire car in error. She was somewhat affected it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that such things unfortunately can happen. She was able to move the car to a safe area and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes from the office, we could reach the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could once again go back to the hotel she was living at. Although we got very soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive off relaxed and much less worried. One more misfuel correction in Wiltshire well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Competence :

Listed here are our top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Wiltshire we are identifying more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to people being unsure of the way to work with it (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since the product is mainly ionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained asap. And absolutely never start up the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a significant situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol can easily cause idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both circumstances rather easily.

Remember that so long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will probably be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel container lying in the rear of your premises containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Wiltshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a garage, provided that we can access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Collingbourne Kingston (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Wiltshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your automobile in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and fill the car. They can also take care of the most common problems that could come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Collingbourne Kingston - Collingbourne Kingston Fuel Removal

A gentleman called us from his place on a close in Collingbourne Kingston. He explained, "My vehicle (a Porsche) is not starting and is producing terrible sounds when I turn the ignition." He admitted that he put unleaded in his diesel car but then reckoned he would solve the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, carried out the drain and filled it up once again with untainted Diesel. He said he would be absolutely sure to advise people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to get it drained promptly.
