It was around 7 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were resting there discussing the recent golf rankings, waiting for the seventh telephone call of the day to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Vastern and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Mercedes rental car. She was quite troubled it seemed, telling me "I simply can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to worry, and that such things regrettably do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe spot and, as it was only a few minutes away from the office, we could reach her without delay. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could get back to the Travelodge she was living in. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off calm and not so apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Wiltshire well done in my mind!

Do you or your drivers frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can solve any related problems.

AdBlue Contamination

In Wiltshire we are identifying increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by drivers not knowing how to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it at once. And obviously don't start up the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking area. In case you did start the car you would almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant condition to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in fuel can certainly trigger idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both cases quite swiftly.

Be aware though that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container at the back of your garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and industrial properties in Wiltshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even several drums in a storage shed, provided that we can access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Vastern (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Wiltshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your automobile if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill up your vehicle. They will fix the standard issues which can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Vastern - Vastern Vehicle Misfuel

The other day a gentleman phoned us because his Honda cut out along a street in Vastern. He had unintentionally put petrol in the diesel vehicle and was only able to get so far as the road before needing to give up. It was still early in the day and our engineer, who resides nearby, reached him in about a quarter hour. We were able to take out the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel yet again into the car. "Thank you for your fast response, particularly at 6 a.m., I appreciate it."
