Our Areas of Specialties: Services We Provide:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Wiltshire we have seen a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to drivers not being aware of the way to work with it (remember: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the automobile.

So, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out immediately. And most definitely take care not to switch on the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. In case you have started the car you will very likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important condition to address in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank will likely lead to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both circumstances fairly simply.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank in the rear of the garden full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and business premises in Wiltshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Newtown (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Wiltshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up your car if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to refill your car or truck. They are also able to fix any of the most common issues which might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.
