It was just before 9 pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a rainless day, it had not stopped pouring! Brian and I were seated discussing the football results, waiting for the 8th fuel drain that day to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso filling garage in The Strand and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Hyundai rental car in error. She was very troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I still cannot believe that I've messed up the car! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and also that things like this unfortunately happen.

Our Fields of Specialties: Services Our Company Offers:

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

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Wiltshire we are noticing increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of motorists not knowing the right way to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And certainly be careful not to start the engine - not even to move it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the car you would in all probability need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank can produce idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both circumstances rather simply.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to a car parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel container lying in the rear of the garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial properties in Wiltshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even some drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in The Strand (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Wiltshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill your automobile any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) to fill your car. They will deal with any of the common problems that may go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Drain The Strand - The Strand Fuel Rescue

A man had broken down just near a street in The Strand. His Peugeot engine had stopped running and he'd no clue what was faulty till he noticed he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to request a fuel drain and that is when he told us: "I cannot believe that I did not detect that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He claimed that he had got absolutely no sleep the evening before and that must have been precisely why.
