It was around five pm on a Thursday and while we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and I were sitting there talking over the weekend's rugby rankings, at the ready for the 6th job of the day to come in. Before long we received a call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Ridge and put petrol in a diesel Kia rental. The unfortunate lady was pretty agitated it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to worry, and also that such things happen.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Wiltshire we are discovering progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to drivers not being aware of how to work with it (pay attention: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you get in this predicament do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our experts possess the practical knowledge and working experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be an important matter to take care of in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel can easily produce idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances pretty easily.

Take note though that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a vehicle parking spot we can reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank sitting at the back of the garden with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial premises in Wiltshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several drums in a garage, providing we can access it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Ridge (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Wiltshire Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill your car if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) to refill your automobile. They can also deal with the normal issues which could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Ridge, Wiltshire

Wrong Fuel Ridge - Ridge Wrong Fuel

I had enjoyed a wonderful afternoon fishing during the weekend and was feeling contented the next morning as I set off to assist a new family who were on holiday in Ridge. They had conked out after adding the wrong fuel into their Mercedes, and were approximately an hour away. I got there at their position and laughed to myself while I heard to the wife chastising her husband for actually being so confused. "Just how could you even manage to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this comes to pass regularly in Wiltshire and that it's really nothing at all to get worried about, even so he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his wife. I felt genuine sympathy for the chap. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive away I waved so long and wondered what my missus would ask me if ever I made the very same blunder... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
