It was after five pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a rainless evening, it had not stopped pouring! Brian and I were sitting commenting on the weekend's sports results, at the ready for the 8th telephone call for the day to arrive. Before long we got the phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Nettleton Green and filled petrol in a diesel Lexus lease car. The poor lady was rather agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to fret, plus that such things unfortunately happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a secure position and, seeing as it was just a few miles from where we were, we could arrive at the customer quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could go home to the Travelodge she was staying at. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off satisfied and much less worried. A misfuel correction in Wiltshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

In Wiltshire we have seen increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by motorists being unsure of the right way to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it at once. And most definitely never turn over the car - not even to move it off the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you may likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually an important condition to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel will likely trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both situations fairly simply.

Take note however that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel container at the back of your premises with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial properties in Wiltshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a storage shed, as long as we can get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Nettleton Green (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete Wiltshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your car if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill your vehicle. They will be able to handle any of the usual issues which might accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

A man phoned us from his home on a street in Nettleton Green. He exclaimed, "My car (a Vauxhall) is not starting up and is producing awful noises when I turn the key."
