It was about six pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Paul and me were seated commenting on the weekend's football, at the ready for the next call that day to arrive. Eventually we had the phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Stourton and filled petrol in a diesel Lexus rental car by mistake. She was somewhat irritated apparently, saying "I can not believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to worry, and also that things like this sadly can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a protected position and, because it was just a short distance from where we were, we could get to the lady swiftly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive off calm and not so concerned. A fuel drain in Wiltshire done well in my opinion!

Our Fields of Specialties: Services We Offer:

We can help you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

What to do in the event that you have put Adblue in your Diesel tank? AdBlue is a solution that is made of a mixture of high-purity deionized water and urea.It is definitely disastrous to your vehicle's fuel system, especially any time you run the engine with Adblue in the tank. The moment the engine has been started up the Adblue will likely be squirted into the fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, bringing about disastrous and costly problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

In the event that you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it right away. And obviously never crank the motor - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In case you did start the car you would likely need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious condition to handle in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel can contribute to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both situations rather expediently.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will be wholly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel tank lying at the rear of your garden with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in Wiltshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to access it, we can empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Stourton (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a complete Wiltshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up the car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to refill the car. They will be able to handle the common issues that could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
