It was about 7 pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ray and I were sitting commenting on the tennis results, at the ready for the 6th telephone call for the day to arrive. In due time we had a call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Whitley and filled petrol in her diesel Volkswagen rental car by mistake. She was somewhat distressed apparently, crying "I just can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to fret, and also that these things unfortunately can happen. She managed to get the car into a protected space and, because it was only a short distance from our van, we were able to get to the lady quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could return to the hotel she was lodging in. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive off satisfied and less concerned. Yet another job in Wiltshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Wiltshire we are discovering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (please note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Should you discover youself to be in this situation don?t fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our experts have the technical competence and experience to have you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a serious matter to deal with in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank is likely to cause idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both circumstances pretty expediently.

Take note though that any time the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will probably be wholly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to an automobile parking bay we can access the tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel container laying at the rear of the garden containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and business premises in Wiltshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a few containers in a shed, provided that we can get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Whitley (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Wiltshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your car if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) and fill your car. They can also handle the standard issues which could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Whitley - Whitley Wrong Fuel Assist

A man had broken down off a street in Whitley. His Mitsubishi motor had ceased operating and he'd no clue what was wrong until eventually he noticed he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he told us: "I cannot believe that I did not detect that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He said that he had gotten virtually no rest the night before and that must have been the key reason why.
