It was after 9 pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and me were relaxing talking about the sports rankings, waiting around for the 6th call for the day to come in. In due time we received a phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Pinehurst and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Lexus rental by mistake. The unfortunate thing was somewhat distressed it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to worry, and that such things unfortunately can happen. She was able to relocate the car to a safe space and, as it was no more than a short distance off from where we were, we could arrive at her quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could once again go back to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive home contented and a lot less concerned. A fuel drain in Wiltshire done well in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

All over Wiltshire we have seen a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly caused by people not being totally sure the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since the product is mainly deionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And absolutely take care not to crank the car - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would very likely have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank can potentially contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both cases quite quickly.

Be aware that if the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to an automobile parking bay we can access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank laying at the back of your garden containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and industrial properties in Wiltshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a garage, if we can get to it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Pinehurst (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Wiltshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill your car 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 your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill up your vehicle. They can also handle any of the most common issues which could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
