It was about 9 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and I were resting there going over the recent sports rankings, at the ready for the 6th call for the day to arrive. Eventually we received the call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Thickwood and filled petrol in her diesel Fiat hire car. She was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I can not believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that such things often happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a protected area and, since it was only a few minutes off from the office, we were able to find the woman swiftly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the hotel she was residing in. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive home calm and less anxious. One more fuel drain in Wiltshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Wiltshire we are noticing increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent caused by motorists not knowing the right way to work with it (important: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to one another on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because the product is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And of course be careful not to turn over the car - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will probably need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel is likely to contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both circumstances pretty quickly.

Be aware that if the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir in the rear of your premises full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in Wiltshire to deal with 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. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps some drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Thickwood (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Wiltshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill the car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) to refill your car or truck. They are also able to handle the normal issues which could go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
