Wrong Fuel in Car Ditchampton, Wiltshire

We can help you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Wiltshire we are finding an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a result of drivers not understanding the right way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to one another on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Because the product is primarily deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it asap. And obviously never turn over the vehicle - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In case you did start the car you may very likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a serious issue to deal with in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel is going to contribute to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both cases fairly simply.

Bear in mind that if the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir lying at the rear of the garden containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and business properties in Wiltshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a storage shed, provided that we can reach it, we can empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Ditchampton (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Wiltshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill your car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill your car or truck. They will take care of any of the normal problems which could come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Ditchampton - Ditchampton Wrong Fuel

I had a wonderful afternoon golfing on my afternoon off and was feeling contented with myself the next working day as I was on the way to help a new couple who were away in Ditchampton. They'd broken down after inserting petrol into their Kia, and were roughly an hour away. I turned up at their location and smiled while I listened to the wife telling off her hubby for being so foolish. "Precisely how could you actually manage to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this comes to pass quite frequently in Wiltshire and that it's truly nothing to stress about, but he in spite of everything had an earful by his wife. Unfortunate lad. Anyways, I removed all the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted so long and thought about what her indoors would do to me if ever I made the exact same error... I'd never hear the end of it!

Recent Fuel Drains in Ditchampton

A number of the more usual circumstances we see from our engineers in Ditchampton:

A teenager who had just got his licence had wrong fuelled his Nissan by putting petrol in his diesel vehicle at the station near Ditchampton. He said, "This is the third time I have filled up my vehicle since I got it and I don't know how to proceed." He was scared because his father had just paid for the car. He came across us on the internet and so called it right away, afraid about what he ought to do. Our guy on the call informed him that we would be on scene inside forty-five minutes and to not do anything to the car while he waited. We did the drain on his car and he said how impressed he was that it was addressed so rapidly and with not much complication whatsoever.

Wrong Fuel Drain Ditchampton - Ditchampton Wrong Fuel

A driver from Ditchampton with her children in her diesel Lexus had filled her vehicle with £30 of petrol at the Shell petrol station. She called us sobbing and very upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel car previously and did not know what might happen to her car in doing so. We reassured her that everything would be alright and that she would be back on the road soon. When we arrived on scene she was visible distressed but while our technician started work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she recognised that help was at hand and her car wasn't wrecked. She soon brightened up and was up and running saying, "I simply can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Specifically with the kids on board."
