It was close to ten pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless night, it had not ceased raining! Mark and I were resting talking over the rugby, waiting for the next job of the day to arrive. Inevitably we received a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Dorcan and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Porsche hire car. She was quite distressed it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I had forgot I was running a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to worry, and also that such things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a protected spot and, since it was just a short distance from us, we could reach her swiftly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she was able to get back to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got really drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away relaxed and much less apprehensive. Yet another job in Wiltshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Wiltshire we have seen increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from people being unsure of the right way to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it immediately. And most definitely take care not to turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. In case you did start the car you would most likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel will cause idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both situations quite quickly.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking spot we can reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel container laying at the rear of your garden with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial premises in Wiltshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a storage shed, assuming that we can reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Dorcan (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Wiltshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up the car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) to refill your vehicle. They are also able to take care of the common troubles which could accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Dorcan - Dorcan Wrong Fuel Doctor

A week ago a driver called us just after his Volkswagen cut out in the middle of a road in Dorcan. He had accidentally put the wrong fuel in the diesel car and drove so far as the street before having to pull up. It was really in the early hours of the day and our technical engineer, who lives nearby, got to him in less than 10 minutes. We managed to take out the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel yet again into the vehicle. "Thank you for your fast response, and in particular at 1 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."
