Services We Offer:

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

AdBlue Contamination

In Wiltshire we are noticing increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by drivers not being totally sure the way to work with it (remember: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the car.

So, what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And absolutely do not switch on the car - not even to move it off of the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you will very likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol can potentially contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of fully, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both circumstances very swiftly.

Be aware however that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car or truck parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel container laying in the back of the garden full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in Wiltshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in West Crudwell (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete Wiltshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill up your automobile. They can also deal with any of the normal troubles that could go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel West Crudwell - West Crudwell Vehicle Misfuel

Last monday a driver contacted us just after his Citroen ground to a halt in the middle of a road in West Crudwell. He had by mistake put unleaded in his diesel motor and had managed to get to the street before having to halt. It was yet in the early hours of the morning and our fuel drainer, who lives nearby, got to him in less than 20 minutes. We were able to take out the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel back in to the vehicle. "Thank you for your prompt response, particularly at 4 a.m., I am grateful for it."
