It was before 10 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were sitting there talking about the weekend's football results, prepared for the 6th telephone call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Potterne and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel MG hire car by mistake. The poor thing was pretty affected apparently, stating "I still can't believe that I have messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to fret, plus that such things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to move the car into a protected space and, because it was no more than a few miles away from where we were, we were able to arrive at her almost instantly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was residing at. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off satisfied and not so concerned. One more fuel drain in Wiltshire done well in my mind!

Below are our top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Wiltshire we have noticed more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially thanks to people not knowing how to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the car.

So, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to attend to every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally an important matter to address in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel may result in idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both situations quite simply.

Take note that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to parking bay we can reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir laying in the rear of the garden with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in Wiltshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a shed, providing we are able to access it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Potterne (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Wiltshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up the car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) and refill the car. They will be able to fix the most common problems which might go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Potterne - Potterne Wrong Fuel in Car

A gentleman had broken down just near a road in Potterne. His Hyundai motor had ceased running and he'd no idea what was the problem until he noticed he put unleaded in his diesel car. He contacted us to get a fuel drain and that's when he said to us: "I can't believe that I didn't detect that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had gotten zero rest the evening before and that must have been the key reason why.
