A gentleman stopped on a road in Thornhill needed a fuel drain roughly a month ago. His Citroen was broken down on the side of the road after he had put in the wrong fuel.

We were on scene within 15 minutes seeing that our drainer was in neighbouring Thornhill and had finished his previous job.

Services We Offer:

Below are the top services we provide to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Wiltshire we have identified more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by drivers not knowing the right way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily take care of different types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a significant matter to address in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank will often contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly expediently.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to parking bay we will be able to access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of your premises with aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business properties in Wiltshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in a storage shed, provided that we can reach it, we can drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Thornhill (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full Wiltshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill the car any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) and fill your vehicle. They will be able to take care of the usual problems which might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Thornhill - Thornhill Petrol in Diesel

A customer had stopped near a street in Thornhill. His Honda motor had ceased running and he had no clue what was faulty until eventually he noticed he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he told us: "I can not believe that I did not realise that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He claimed that he had got no rest the night before and that must have been precisely why.
