It was before five pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were seated there discussing the weekend's golf, at the ready for the next call for the day to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Compton Bassett and filled petrol in a diesel Nissan rental car by mistake. She was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe that I have messed up the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to fret, also that these things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a safe position and, as it was no more than a few minutes away from us, we were able to find her rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was residing in. Although we got really wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off calm and a lot less worried. Another misfuel correction in Wiltshire well done in my opinion!

We can assist you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In your Fuel

How to proceed in the event that you may have put Adblue in a Diesel tank? AdBlue is a chemical that is made of a mixture of high-purity urea and ionized water.It can be damaging to your car's fuel system, specifically if you started the car with Adblue in your diesel fuel tank. The moment the engine has been switched on the Adblue will likely be dragged into the fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, leading to disastrous and costly problems to your automobile's fuel system.

If you find you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And certainly be careful not to crank the engine - not even to maneuver it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you would in all probability have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant condition to address in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol can potentially contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both cases fairly simply.

Take note that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one is going to be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to parking spot we can reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel container lying in the back of your garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Wiltshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in a garage, provided that we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Compton Bassett (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Wiltshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up the car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) and refill your car. They will be able to fix any of the usual troubles which might go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
