Services We Offer:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Wiltshire we are encountering a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent caused by motorists not being aware of how to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And definitely do not start the motor - not even to shift it off of the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you will almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a serious situation to handle in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel is likely to produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both cases fairly expediently.

Remember though that as long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container sitting at the back of your garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business properties in Wiltshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a storage shed, if we can access it, we can empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Trowbridge (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Wiltshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill the car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to fill your vehicle. They can also handle any of the usual issues which might go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
