It was just before 8 pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a rainless evening, it had not stopped pouring! Ryan and I were resting there going over the rugby rankings, ready for the 6th job for the day to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a lady on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Knighton and filled petrol in a diesel Volkswagen hire car by mistake. The poor lady was very affected apparently, saying "I still cannot believe I have messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to fret, plus that these things unfortunately often happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a protected space and, seeing as it was just a short distance from us, we could arrive at the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was residing at.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Wiltshire we are encountering progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by people not knowing the right way to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Phone us in the event that you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can fix all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel is likely to contribute to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both cases pretty expediently.

Take note that if the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir at the back of your garden containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Wiltshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several drums in a shed, provided that we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Knighton (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Wiltshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill the car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) to fill up your automobile. They will take care of any of the common issues which can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Knighton - Knighton Fuel Removal

A couple of days ago a motorist telephoned us because his Hyundai broke down in the middle of a street in Knighton.

It was really in the early hours of the day and our fuel drainer, who lives nearby, was with him in about a quarter hour. We were able to take out the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel back in the car. "Thank you for your fast response, and in particular at 2 a.m., I appreciate it."
