It was close to 5 pm on a Monday and although we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not ceased pouring! Ray and I were seated going over the weekend's football results, waiting around for the 6th call for the day to come in. In due time we had a phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Laverstock and filled petrol in a diesel Skoda lease car in error. She was rather agitated apparently, crying "I just can't believe I've destroyed the car! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and that such things regrettably happen. She managed to get the car to a protected space and, because it was just a short distance off from the office, we could find her rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive home calm and not so apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in Wiltshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Wiltshire we have seen a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to people being unsure of the right way to use it (remember: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And most definitely never turn over the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. In the instance that you have started the car you would most likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely an important situation to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol may lead to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both cases quite easily.

Take note though that any time the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a vehicle parking bay we can reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank sitting at the back of your premises containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial properties in Wiltshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even some drums in a shed, providing we can get to it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Laverstock (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete Wiltshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill the car any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill up your car. They can also handle any of the most common problems which might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.
