It was before 7 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and me were seated there discussing the recent golf rankings, waiting for the 6th telephone call of the day to arrive. Before long we got a call from a girl on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Melksham and filled petrol in her diesel Skoda lease car by mistake. The poor lady was rather agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to be concerned, also that these things do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a secure area and, because it was no more than a few minutes off from us, we could get to the customer swiftly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was staying at.

Services We Provide:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Wiltshire we are noticing an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part a result of motorists not understanding the way to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In the event that you discover youself to be in this scenario do not panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our technicians have got the specialised competence and experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be an important matter to handle in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank will likely cause idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both circumstances pretty simply.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel tank lying in the rear of the garden containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and business premises in Wiltshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in a garage, if we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Melksham (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete Wiltshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up the car. They are also able to deal with the typical problems which might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Melksham - Melksham Wrong Fuel in Car

A couple weeks ago a customer phoned us after his Hyundai stopped on a road in Melksham. He had by accident put the incorrect fuel in his diesel car and got so far as the street before needing to give up. It was yet early in the morning and our fuel drainer, who lives close by, reached him in less than 20 minutes. We were able to remove the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in to the car.
