It was around 6 pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Paul and I were relaxing there discussing the weekend's sports rankings, at the ready for the next fuel drain to come in. In due time we received a call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Ridge and put the wrong fuel in her diesel BMW rental car in error. She was quite agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe I have wrecked the car! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and also that these things unfortunately do happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a safe position and, since it was just a few miles away from the office, we could arrive at her quickly. The bad fuel was taken out so she was able to go home to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away calm and much less stressed. One more job in Wiltshire well done in my mind!

Services We Offer:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Wiltshire we have noticed a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by motorists being unsure of the way to work with it (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it at once. And most certainly take care not to start up the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. If perhaps you have started the car you will very likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a significant matter to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol is likely to produce idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases pretty swiftly.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one is going to be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir at the rear of your premises with aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in Wiltshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even some containers in a shed, if we can access it, we can drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Ridge (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a full Wiltshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) to refill the car. They will take care of the most common problems which might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
