It was after six pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped raining! Brian and I were resting commenting on the recent footy, at the ready for the 6th telephone call to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a young lady on a company trip who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Melksham and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Hyundai rental by mistake. The poor lady was very distressed apparently, telling me "I can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that such things unfortunately often happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure position and, as it was just a few miles away from us, we were able to arrive at her right away. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off relaxed and much less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Wiltshire done well in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Wiltshire we have noticed a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly a result of drivers not being totally sure the way to use it (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Any time you discover youself to be in this situation do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our engineers possess the technical knowledge and experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious matter to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can trigger idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both circumstances fairly simply.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close to a vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank lying at the back of your premises with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial properties in Wiltshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a garage, if we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Melksham (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Wiltshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill your vehicle. They will be able to fix the normal troubles that may come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Melksham - Melksham Wrong Fuel in Car

I had appreciated a great evening cycling on the weekend and felt cheerful the next morning as I headed out to help a young family on vacation in Melksham. They'd stopped after putting the wrong fuel in their Dacia, and the car was approximately an hour away. I showed up at their car and smiled to myself while I heard to the gal chastising her hubby for actually being so confused. "Just how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I wanted to tell her that this goes on regularly in Wiltshire and that it is nothing at all to fret about, even so he still had his ear bent by his wife. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. While they drove down the road I shouted good bye and pondered on what my missus would do to me if I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!
