It was around eight pm on a Monday and although we were assured a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and me were resting talking about the recent footy results, at the ready for the seventh telephone call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we got a phone call from a lady on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Tidworth and put petrol in her diesel Hyundai rental. The poor lady was somewhat troubled it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that these things sadly happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a safe space and, seeing as it was only a few miles off from the office, we could find the customer rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could get back to the motel she was residing in. Even though we got really wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away relaxed and less anxious. One more misfuel correction in Wiltshire done well in my books!

Services We Offer:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue Contamination

In Wiltshire we are identifying a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of motorists not knowing how to to make use of (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Contact us if you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will attend to every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a serious issue to address in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can easily contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations very expediently.

Bear in mind though that if ever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close to parking bay we can gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container placed at the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in Wiltshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even some drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Tidworth (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Wiltshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your vehicle if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill your car. They will be able to take care of the most common issues which could go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

A motorist had broken down off a street in Tidworth. His Suzuki motor had stopped working and he'd no idea what was faulty till he noticed he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle.
