It was just before six pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were sitting there going over the footy, waiting for the 8th call for the day to come in. Inevitably we received a call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in South Tidworth and put petrol in her diesel Hyundai rental by mistake. The unfortunate thing was fairly affected it seemed, saying "I just can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to worry, plus that these things sadly often happen. She had managed to move the car to a secure area and, as it was just a few miles away from the office, we could reach the customer right away. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive home relaxed and less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Wiltshire well done in my mind!

Our Services:

Assisting you get back on the road is our number 1 goal.

AdBlue In your Fuel

What you can do if you may have put Adblue in a Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a liquid that is made of a blend of ionized water (67.5%) and urea (32.5%).Adblue tends to be devastating to your automobile's fuel system, specifically any time you have had the engine running with Adblue in your tank. As soon as the engine has been started up the Adblue is going to be pushed into the fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, bringing about serious and expensive harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

If you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it asap. And obviously take care not to turn over the car - not even to move it into a parking spot. If perhaps you did start the car you would in all probability need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important issue to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel is going to cause idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both cases fairly expediently.

Remember though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close to a vehicle parking bay we can access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container laying at the rear of the garden full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial premises in Wiltshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a storage shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in South Tidworth (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Wiltshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill the car if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your car. They are also able to fix the normal troubles which could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
