Petrol in your diesel car in Startley? You've come to the right place. We are here to aid you in this emergency and get you moving once again with our professional wrong fuel removal service.

It was around 7 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased raining! James and me were relaxing there discussing the weekend's football rankings, at the ready for the 8th job for the day to come in. Eventually we had the call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Startley and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Citroen lease car by mistake. She was somewhat affected apparently, stating "I can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably do happen. She was able to relocate the car to a safe space and, as it was no more than a short distance away from where we were, we were able to arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home contented and not so apprehensive. A misfuel correction in Wiltshire well done in my books!

Our Areas of Competency :

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue Contamination

What you should do in the event that you have poured Adblue in your Diesel tank? Adblue tends to be harmful to your car's fuel system, specifically any time you started the car with Adblue in your diesel tank. The moment the engine has been started the Adblue will likely be injected into the fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, leading to devastating and expensive damage to your car's fuel system.

Contact us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to handle all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant situation to address in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel can produce idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a car parking bay we can reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank placed in the rear of your premises full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and business properties in Wiltshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Startley (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a complete Wiltshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill the car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) to fill up your car or truck. They will take care of any of the normal problems that can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
