It was before 7 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Dan and I were sitting talking about the weekend's golf rankings, ready for the 8th telephone call to arrive. Eventually we got a phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Royal Wootton Bassett and put petrol in a diesel Dacia lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was somewhat affected apparently, stating "I just can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to fret, plus that such things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe position and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance from where we were, we could arrive at her right away. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off relaxed and much less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Wiltshire well done in my mind!

We are all set to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Wiltshire we are identifying more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly caused by drivers not knowing the right way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it asap. And of course be careful not to start up the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking area. If you did start the car you will almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant condition to address in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel can result in idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both circumstances fairly simply.

Take note however that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking bay we can reach the storage and remove the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel tank lying at the back of your premises with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial premises in Wiltshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in an outbuilding, if we can get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Royal Wootton Bassett (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive Wiltshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill your car or truck. They are also able to handle any of the normal issues that might go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
