It was around seven pm on a Tuesday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! James and I were sitting there talking over the weekend's sports results, at the ready for the 8th job of the day to come in. Eventually we had a call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Wanborough and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel BMW hire car by mistake. She was pretty troubled it seemed, telling me "I simply can't believe I have messed up the car! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that things like this regrettably often happen. She was able to get the car to a protected space and, as it was only a few minutes away from the office, we were able to find the woman rather quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she could get back to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home satisfied and not so apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in Wiltshire done well in my mind!

We are all set to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Wiltshire we have encountered an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent thanks to people being unsure of the right way to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to handle all types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious issue to address in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel may lead to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both cases very easily.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close to a vehicle parking spot we can access the storage and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir placed at the back of your garden full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial premises in Wiltshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a shed, if we can get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Wanborough (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Wiltshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill your car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill up the car. They will fix the usual issues that can accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
