It was before eight pm on a Friday and while we were promised a dry night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were resting discussing the recent rugby, waiting around for the sixth call to arrive. Inevitably we got the phone call from a girl on a company trip who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Knowle and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Porsche rental by mistake. She was quite agitated it seemed, telling me "I just can't believe that I've messed up the car! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to fret, and that things like this sadly can happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a secure position and, since it was just a few miles from where we were, we were able to find the woman fairly quickly. The bad fuel was taken out so she could get back to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home relaxed and not so worried. Another job in Wiltshire done well in my mind!

We are all set to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue Contamination

How to handle it in the event that you have poured Adblue into a Diesel fuel tank? Adblue tends to be devastating to your car's fuel system, particularly any time you have had the engine running with Adblue in the diesel tank. The moment the engine has been started up the Adblue is going to be pulled into the fuel lines and will swiftly start to crystalise, leading to serious and expensive harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

Call us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily correct all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a serious matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel will likely produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both circumstances fairly quickly.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container in the rear of your premises containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and business properties in Wiltshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even numerous drums in a shed, provided that we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Knowle (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Wiltshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and fill your car. They are also able to take care of any of the normal troubles which may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Knowle - Knowle Wrong Fuel Doctor

I enjoyed a fantastic day fishing during my day off and was feeling delighted with myself the next day as I headed out to assist a new couple who were away in Knowle. They stopped after inserting the wrong fuel into their Renault, and they were about an hour's drive away. I turned up at their location and smirked as I heard to the girl berating her partner for being so foolish. "Precisely how could you actually manage to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to clarify that this situation takes place constantly in Wiltshire and that it's actually absolutely nothing to fret about, even so he all the same got an ear bashing. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. Anyhow, I removed the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some appropriate fuel. As they drove away I shouted goodbye and considered what her indoors would tell me if I did the exact same thing... I would never ever hear the end of it!
