It was around ten pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Mark and me were resting discussing the weekend's sports results, prepared for the next telephone call to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Highworth and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Mercedes lease car. The unfortunate lady was quite troubled it seemed, crying "I can not believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that such things unfortunately happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a protected area and, since it was only a short distance off from where we were, we could reach the woman quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive away contented and much less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Wiltshire well done in my mind!

Our Services:

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

AdBlue In Diesel

In Wiltshire we are noticing a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of motorists not understanding the right way to work with it (remember: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it right away. And most certainly do not crank the car - not even to shift it to a parking place. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you will almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel can cause idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both circumstances rather quickly.

Remember that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to an automobile parking spot we can gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir in the back of your premises full of old, useless or contaminated 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 draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a shed, if we can get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Highworth (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Wiltshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and fill up your vehicle. They will take care of any of the common issues that may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Highworth - Highworth Petrol in Diesel

Yesterday a gentleman called us when his Peugeot broke down on a street in Highworth. He had unintentionally put petrol in the diesel car and was only able to drive to the road before having to stop. It was still early in the morning and our technician, who stays locally, got to him in less than a quarter hour. We were able to take out the wrong fuel and put clean diesel back in to the car. "Many thanks to you for your immediate response, particularly at 2 a.m., I really appreciate it."
