It was around 10 pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a dry night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Mark and I were sitting there talking over the tennis, at the ready for the seventh call to come in. Eventually we got a call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Leigh Delamere and put petrol in a diesel SEAT hire car by mistake. The poor lady was very irritated apparently, stating "I cannot believe I have messed up the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and also that things like this unfortunately can happen. She managed to move the car into a safe position and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from us, we were able to find her rather quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she could return to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home calm and less apprehensive. A misfuel correction in Wiltshire done well in my books!

Our Areas of Competence :

Do you or your drivers often misfuel your car? We can solve any related problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Wiltshire we are noticing more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a result of motorists not being totally sure the right way to work with it (important: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it at once. And definitely take care not to switch on the engine - not even to shift it off the pump. Assuming you did start the car you will most likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious issue to address in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank will often contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both circumstances pretty simply.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel container laying in the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in Wiltshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in a garage, providing we can access it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Leigh Delamere (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Wiltshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your vehicle any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) to refill your car. They will be able to deal with the common issues that might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Leigh Delamere - Leigh Delamere Fuel Removal

A gentleman rang us from his home on a road in Leigh Delamere. He exclaimed, "My vehicle (a Land Rover) is not starting up and is creating dreadful sounds when I flip the ignition." He said that he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would resolve the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, performed the drain and filled it up once more with clean Diesel. He said that he'd be sure to tell people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to get it drained immediately.
