It was before 5 pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Ray and me were seated there commenting on the golf results, prepared for the 6th call that day to arrive. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Woodsend and filled petrol in a diesel Honda hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was quite troubled apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and that these things regrettably often happen. She was able to relocate the car into a safe space and, seeing that it was just a few miles away from the office, we could reach the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could return to the Premier Inn she was residing in.

Our Areas of Expertise :

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

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Wiltshire we are finding more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a result of motorists not being aware of how to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Contact us if it turns out you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will fix all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important situation to deal with in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol will trigger idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both circumstances fairly simply.

Bear in mind that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be wholly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to an automobile parking spot we can gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial premises in Wiltshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several drums in an outbuilding, provided that we can get to it, we are able to drain it for you.
