This is what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Wiltshire we are noticing a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by motorists not understanding the way to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And obviously take care not to start the engine - not even to shift it from the pump. In cases where you have started the car you will probably need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually an important issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol may lead to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases rather swiftly.

Take note though that any time the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one is going to be wholly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank placed in the back of your premises containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid 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 registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can access it, we can drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Stanton St Bernard (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Wiltshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill the car if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) to fill your automobile. They can also deal with any of the standard issues which might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.
