Our Areas of Competency :

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Wiltshire we are finding more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially thanks to drivers not being totally sure how to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And obviously never crank the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. In case you have started the vehicle you would likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious issue to handle in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel will likely bring about idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both cases rather easily.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel tank sitting at the back of your premises full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and business premises in Wiltshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Widbrook (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Wiltshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) to refill your car or truck. They can also take care of the normal issues which could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
