Our Fields of Expertise:

Below are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Wiltshire we have encountered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the automobile.

Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it at once. And definitely be careful not to switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. In the instance that you have started the car you will most likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally an important issue to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel may produce idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations pretty simply.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container placed in the rear of the garden containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and industrial premises in Wiltshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even some drums in a shed, assuming that we can get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in West Stowell (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Wiltshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill your car. They can also handle the typical issues that could come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

We were able to drain the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel back into the car. "Sincere kudos to you for your immediate response, especially at 3 a.m., I am grateful for it."
