It was after 9 pm on a Friday and although we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and I were resting there commenting on the weekend's football, waiting for the 8th fuel drain for the day to come in. Inevitably we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the BP filling garage in Chippenham and put the wrong fuel in a diesel BMW rental in error. The unfortunate lady was somewhat agitated apparently, crying "I still can't believe that I have messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to fret, and that things like this unfortunately can happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a protected spot and, because it was no more than a few minutes away from us, we could reach the lady rather quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the hotel she was lodging at. Even though we got very wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive away calm and not so concerned. A job in Wiltshire done well in my opinion!

Our Fields of Expertise:

We can help you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

How to handle it if you?ve put Adblue into your Diesel fuel tank? Adblue tends to be devastating to your automobile's fuel system, especially if you started the car with Adblue in your tank. Once the engine has been switched on the Adblue will likely be injected into the fuel lines and will immediately begin to crystalise, leading to catastrophic and expensive harm to your car's fuel system.

In case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out right away. And definitely take care not to start the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking bay. If perhaps you have started the car you will most likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel is likely to cause idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both circumstances fairly easily.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank laying at the back of your premises with old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and commercial properties in Wiltshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in an outbuilding, providing we can reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Chippenham (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete Wiltshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill up your car. They will be able to fix any of the most common issues which could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Chippenham - Chippenham Petrol in Diesel

A gentleman had broken down just off a road in Chippenham. His Porsche car had ceased operating and he'd no idea what was wrong until he realised he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I can not believe that I didn't detect that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had got very little sleep the day before and that must have been why.
