It was about 7 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and I were seated there talking over the weekend's tennis, prepared for the next telephone call for the day to come in. Before long we received a phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in West Knoyle and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Toyota rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was rather troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I just can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that these things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to get the car into a secure spot and, because it was only a few miles off from where we were, we could reach the customer rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive away satisfied and a lot less concerned. One more fuel drain in Wiltshire done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Experience :

We can assist you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Wiltshire we are identifying increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly caused by people not being totally sure how to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Contact us if you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to correct different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant condition to address in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol can certainly bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both circumstances quite easily.

Bear in mind however that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container sitting at the rear of your premises full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and industrial premises in Wiltshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a shed, if we are able to access it, we are able to drain it for you.
