It was close to 6 pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! James and I were relaxing discussing the footy, at the ready for the next job of the day to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Patney and filled petrol in her diesel Mercedes rental by mistake. The poor lady was fairly irritated it seemed, saying "I can not believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that such things sadly can happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a safe spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we could reach the lady right away. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the motel she was residing at. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off contented and a lot less anxious. One more job in Wiltshire well done in my opinion!

Services We Offer:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Wiltshire we have encountered an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by people not understanding how to to make use of (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And definitely take care not to start the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking place. Assuming you have started the car you may very likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important situation to handle in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel is likely to contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations rather expediently.

Be aware that any time the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking spot we can access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container sitting at the back of your premises with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business premises in Wiltshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a shed, as long as we can reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Patney (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete Wiltshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill the car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) and fill your car or truck. They will be able to take care of any of the typical problems that might accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

We were able to drain the wrong fuel and put clean diesel yet again in the vehicle. "Sincere kudos to you for your timely response, especially at 3 a.m., I am grateful for it."
