This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Wiltshire we have found an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of drivers not being totally sure the right way to work with it (take note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And most certainly be careful not to start the car - not even to move it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to address in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol can potentially result in idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both situations very easily.

Be aware however that if the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel container sitting at the rear of your premises with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and industrial properties in Wiltshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a shed, if we can access it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Preston (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Wiltshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) to fill the car. They will be able to handle any of the common troubles that could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
