It was just before 7 pm on a Friday and although we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and I were sitting there going over the weekend's sports results, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain of the day to come in. Inevitably we had a call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Melksham and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Renault rental car by mistake. She was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe that I've messed up the car! I am so used to filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to fret, and also that these things often happen. She was able to get the car to a secure spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes off from where we were, we could find the woman without delay. The incorrect fuel was removed and she could get back to the hotel she was staying in. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off contented and much less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Wiltshire done well in my opinion!

We are willing to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In your Fuel

How to handle it if you have poured Adblue in your Diesel tank? Adblue can be damaging to your automobile's fuel system, especially if you started the car with Adblue in the fuel tank. Once the engine has been started up the Adblue will likely be squirted into the fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, leading to devastating and costly damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And most definitely don't crank the engine - not even to move it off the pump. In cases where you did start the car you may almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important condition to deal with in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can trigger idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both situations very swiftly.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one is going to be wholly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to an automobile parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel tank at the rear of your garden with old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial properties in Wiltshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a garage, provided that we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Melksham (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Wiltshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, 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 deal with any of the most common issues that may go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Melksham - Melksham Fuel Removal

I had a fantastic afternoon golfing during my holiday and felt delighted with myself the next working day as I was on the way to aid a young family who were holidaying in Melksham. They had pulled over after inserting petrol into their Suzuki, and were approximately half an hour away. I arrived at their car and smirked as I listened to the wife telling her man off for being so silly. "Precisely how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this problem occurs all the time in Wiltshire and that it's nothing at all to be anxious about, and yet he still had his ear bent. Unlucky guy. Anyhow, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the proper fuel. While they drove off I shouted goodbye and pondered on what my wife would tell me if perhaps I did the same thing... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
