It was after 10 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and me were seated there commenting on the weekend's football rankings, at the ready for the sixth telephone call that day to arrive. Finally we received a call from a woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Corton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Kia lease car. The poor thing was somewhat affected apparently, crying "I just can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to worry, and also that things like this often happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a protected area and, because it was just a few miles from us, we were able to arrive at her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could once again go back to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive off satisfied and less stressed. Another misfuel correction in Wiltshire done well in my books!

Our Areas of Competency :

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

All around Wiltshire we are noticing an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially thanks to people not understanding the way to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Contact us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to attend to different types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to handle in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel is going to trigger idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases rather swiftly.

Be aware that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel tank laying in the rear of your premises with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and business properties in Wiltshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even several drums in a shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Corton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Wiltshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill the car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to refill your car. They will take care of the typical troubles which might come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
