It was just before 6 pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Brian and me were seated commenting on the recent rugby results, ready for the sixth job that day to come in. Finally we had a phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling station in West Kennett and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Jaguar rental. The unfortunate lady was pretty distressed it seemed, stating "I can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to worry, also that things like this sadly can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a safe spot and, as it was no more than a few miles from where we were, we were able to get to the customer almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away contented and not so anxious. Another fuel drain in Wiltshire well done in my books!

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

AdBlue In Diesel

What you should do in the event that you have put Adblue in a Diesel tank? It is definitely devastating to your car's fuel system, especially any time you started the car with Adblue in the diesel fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the Adblue will likely be injected into your fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, triggering disastrous and costly damage to your automobile's fuel system.

If you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it asap. And obviously never turn over the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel will bring about idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both circumstances rather simply.

Take note though that if the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will probably be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car parking spot we can access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container laying at the rear of your garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and commercial properties in Wiltshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even numerous drums in a storage shed, as long as we can reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in West Kennett (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Wiltshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home.

Fuel Rescue West Kennett - West Kennett Fuel Drain

I appreciated a fantastic evening golfing during the weekend and felt pleased the next working day as I headed out to aid a new couple on vacation in West Kennett. They had pulled over after adding diesel in their Fiat, and they were around an hour's drive away. I arrived at their location and smirked while I heard to the girl telling her partner off for actually being so confused. "How could you possibly manage to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to clarify that this problem happens everyday in Wiltshire and that it's in reality absolutely nothing to get worried about, nevertheless he in spite of everything had his ear bent by his wife. I felt sorry for the boy. Anyway, I extracted the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. While they drove down the road I mouthed goodbye and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if ever I did the very same thing... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
