It was after 5 pm on a Friday and although we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and I were relaxing discussing the recent rugby rankings, at the ready for the sixth telephone call of the day to come in. In due time we got a call from a girl on a company trip who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Derry Hill and put petrol in a diesel Lexus hire car in error. She was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to worry, plus that these things often happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a secure position and, because it was just a short distance away from our van, we were able to find the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the motel she was living in. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home calm and less stressed. One more misfuel correction in Wiltshire done well in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Wiltshire we are encountering progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of drivers not knowing the right way to work with it (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Give us a call in the event that you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will fix all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank will lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both circumstances rather easily.

Be aware that if the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel container lying at the rear of your premises containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and commercial properties in Wiltshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in a shed, if we can access it, we can drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Derry Hill (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a complete Wiltshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your car if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to refill your car. They are also able to deal with the typical issues that might accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
