It was just before 6 pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Paul and me were seated there talking over the weekend's football results, ready for the seventh telephone call to arrive. Inevitably we got the call from a young lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Elm Cross and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel MG lease car. She was fairly distressed it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things unfortunately happen. She managed to get the car into a safe area and, because it was just a short distance away from where we were, we were able to get to the woman fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off satisfied and less apprehensive. Yet another misfuel correction in Wiltshire done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Competency :

Helping you get back on the road is our number 1 goal.

AdBlue In your Fuel

What you should do in case you have put Adblue into your Diesel tank? Adblue is actually disastrous to your car's fuel system, especially any time you run the engine with Adblue in your fuel tank. The moment the engine has been started up the Adblue will be dragged into your fuel lines and will swiftly start to crystalise, resulting in catastrophic and expensive harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

If in case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it immediately. And most definitely do not crank the car - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In the event that you have started the car you may most likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to address in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank can certainly lead to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations rather easily.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a car parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir at the back of your premises containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and business properties in Wiltshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in a garage, if we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Elm Cross (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Wiltshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill your car or truck. They can also fix the typical issues that might go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
