Ray and me were resting commenting on the weekend's tennis rankings, ready for the seventh call to arrive. Inevitably we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in East Everleigh and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel BMW hire car in error. She was very agitated apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe that I have messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to fret, and that such things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a secure spot and, as it was just a few miles away from the office, we were able to reach her almost instantly.

Services We Offer:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Wiltshire we are encountering more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of motorists not being totally sure how to to make use of (remember: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And most certainly never turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. In cases where you have started the car you will likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol is going to result in idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both circumstances rather expediently.

Be aware though that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir in the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and industrial properties in Wiltshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us 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 some drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to get to it, we can empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in East Everleigh (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Wiltshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up the car if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) to fill up the car. They can also handle any of the most common troubles that could go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel East Everleigh - East Everleigh Petrol in Diesel

I had a terrific afternoon fishing on my off day and was feeling delighted the next day as I headed out to aid a new couple vacationing in East Everleigh. They broken down after adding petrol in their Land Rover, and they were about half an hour's travel away. I showed up at their position and smirked to myself while I heard to the woman berating her man for being so stupid. "Just how could you possibly manage to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this goes on quite frequently in Wiltshire and that it's nothing to worry about, even so he all the same got an ear bashing. Unfortunate guy. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed all of the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some correct fuel. While they drove away I shouted so long and wondered what her indoors would do to me in the event that I made the exact same mistake... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
