It was close to five pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were relaxing going over the weekend's golf, at the ready for the 8th telephone call that day to arrive. In due time we got the call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Southcott and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Volvo lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was fairly distressed apparently, saying "I still cannot believe I have ruined the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol car I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to fret, and that things like this happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a secure space and, because it was no more than a few minutes off from us, we were able to arrive at her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she could return to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away calm and much less concerned. One more job in Wiltshire well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Experience :

This is what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Wiltshire we are discovering a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mainly caused by motorists not knowing the way to use it (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the car.

Now, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is primarily deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Any time you end up in this situation do not panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the specialised expertise and experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a significant situation to take care of in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol will likely result in idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both circumstances fairly expediently.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a vehicle parking spot we can access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container laying in the rear of your garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in Wiltshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a garage, as long as we can get to it, we are able to drain it.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Southcott (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Wiltshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your automobile in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to refill your car. They will be able to fix any of the common issues which could accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Southcott - Southcott Petrol in Diesel

I'd had a perfect day golfing during my off day and was feeling delighted with myself the following morning as I set out to assist a young family vacationing in Southcott. They had pulled over after filling the wrong fuel in their Fiat, and they were roughly an hour away. I got there at their car and laughed to myself while I heard to the lady telling off her husband for actually being so silly. "Just how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I tried to explain that this takes place all the time in Wiltshire and that it's nothing to stress about, and yet he in spite of everything got his ear bent. I felt sorry for the boy. At any rate, I removed the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive away I waved so long and thought about what my missus would do to me if perhaps I made the very same error... I would personally never hear the end of it!
