It was after 10 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped raining! Ray and I were sitting there discussing the footy, waiting for the next job to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Bemerton Heath and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Volkswagen rental. She was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that things like this often happen. She was able to relocate the car to a protected spot and, since it was no more than a few miles from us, we could reach the lady right away. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was residing in.

Our Areas of Competence :

Assisting you get back on the road is our main goal.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Wiltshire we have encountered progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of people not being aware of the right way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it asap. And certainly do not start up the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking place. Assuming you have started the car you will in all probability have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can easily result in idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both circumstances quite quickly.

Be aware that if the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container at the back of your garden containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and industrial properties in Wiltshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a shed, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Bemerton Heath (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Wiltshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill the car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) to refill your vehicle. They will be able to fix any of the common problems which might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.
