It was just after 7 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and me were sitting going over the football results, waiting around for the next telephone call of the day to arrive. Eventually we received the call from a lady on a company trip who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Widbrook and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Suzuki rental in error. The poor thing was rather agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I simply can't believe that I have messed up the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that such things regrettably often happen. She was able to get the car to a secure position and, because it was no more than a few minutes off from us, we were able to arrive at the woman almost instantly. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away satisfied and not so concerned. Yet another job in Wiltshire done well in my books!

Services We Offer:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

All over Wiltshire we are identifying increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly thanks to drivers not being totally sure the way to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to handle all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a serious condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol can cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both situations fairly expediently.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close to an automobile parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of your premises full of aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and business properties in Wiltshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even several containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Widbrook (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Wiltshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill the car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) to refill your automobile. They are also able to take care of the normal issues which may go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
