It was after seven pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were seated there going over the weekend's tennis, at the ready for the next telephone call to arrive. In due time we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Melksham and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Ford lease car. The unfortunate thing was quite irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe that I have messed up the car! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to worry, plus that these things regrettably often happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a secure spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes away from our van, we were able to arrive at the lady without delay. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to go home to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home contented and much less worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Wiltshire done well in my opinion!

Below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Wiltshire we have found increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a result of drivers being unsure of how to use it (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the car.

Well, what's the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it at once. And obviously don't start up the car - not even to shift it into a parking place. In cases where you have started the car you would in all probability have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important condition to address in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank can contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances fairly quickly.

Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close to an automobile parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel container lying at the rear of your garden full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and industrial premises in Wiltshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in an outbuilding, if we can get to it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Melksham (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Wiltshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) to fill up your car. They are also able to take care of the standard problems which might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Melksham - Melksham Petrol in Diesel

A gentleman had conked out just near a street in Melksham. His Porsche car had ceased running and he had no idea what was awry right up until he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel car. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that's when he said to us: "I can not believe that I didn't comprehend that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had got virtually no sleep the evening before and that must have been precisely why.
