It was close to five pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a dry day, it had not given up on pouring! Mark and me were seated commenting on the recent footy results, ready for the seventh telephone call of the day to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Melksham Forest and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Porsche hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was very distressed apparently, crying "I still cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to be concerned, and that things like this unfortunately happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a secure position and, seeing as it was only a short distance from our van, we were able to get to the lady swiftly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the motel she was residing in. Although we got really soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Wiltshire done well in my opinion!

Our Fields of Expertise: Services Our Company Offers:

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

In Wiltshire we are finding a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly stemming from drivers being unsure of the right way to work with it (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Phone us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can handle every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a serious issue to handle in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel may bring about idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both circumstances fairly quickly.

Take note however that if the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to reach the storage and remove the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir placed at the rear of the garden containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and industrial properties in Wiltshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even several drums in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Melksham Forest (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Wiltshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) and fill your car. They will be able to take care of the common issues which might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.
