It was before ten pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Dan and I were relaxing commenting on the weekend's rugby results, waiting around for the next job that day to come in. Inevitably we got a call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Chitterne and put petrol in a diesel Lexus hire car in error. The poor thing was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I simply cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that these things sadly happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a secure spot and, since it was just a few minutes away from our van, we could arrive at her quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could return to the Premier Inn she was living at. Even though we got really drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home contented and a lot less apprehensive. A misfuel correction in Wiltshire done well in my mind!

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Wiltshire we are identifying more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to drivers not knowing the right way to work with it (take note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the car.

So, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to attend to all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant issue to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel can potentially lead to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not remedied properly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both circumstances pretty expediently.

Remember though that any time the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car parking bay we can reach the storage and remove the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir lying at the back of the garden containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial premises in Wiltshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in a storage shed, provided that we can get to it, we are able to drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Chitterne (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Wiltshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill your car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill up your car. They will fix any of the common problems that can go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
