Listed here are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Wiltshire we have discovered a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by drivers not knowing how to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained asap. And most certainly don't switch on the car - not even to relocate it from the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you may very likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can lead to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both circumstances pretty expediently.

Remember that any time the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking bay we can access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank sitting at the back of the garden containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and business premises in Wiltshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in an outbuilding, if we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Elm Cross (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Wiltshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your car any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) to fill up your car or truck. They will be able to take care of the most common problems that could come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Elm Cross - Elm Cross Fuel Removal

I had appreciated a great afternoon hiking on the weekend and was feeling pleased the next day as I set off to help a young couple who were on vacation in Elm Cross. They conked out after inserting the wrong fuel in their Fiat, and the car was roughly an hour's drive away. I arrived at their position and smirked as I heard to the gal telling her husband off for being so stupid. "How could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this kind of thing goes on frequently in Wiltshire and that it's truly nothing to get worried about, and yet he all the same got an ear bashing. Unfortunate lad. Anyhow, I drained out the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. While they drove away I shouted so long and pondered on what my wife would say to me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I would personally never live it down!
