It was before six pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were seated talking over the sports rankings, waiting around for the next call that day to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Heddington and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Lexus rental in error. The poor thing was pretty irritated apparently, telling me "I still can't believe I have ruined the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that things like this sadly do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a secure spot and, as it was just a short distance away from us, we were able to find the lady without delay. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the hotel she was living in. Despite the fact we got extremely soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive off relaxed and much less anxious. One more job in Wiltshire well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Expertise :

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

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Wiltshire we have noticed a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly caused by motorists not being totally sure the right way to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the automobile.

So, what's the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained right away. And certainly do not turn over the engine - not even to relocate it off the pump. In cases where you have started the car you will in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel is going to contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances rather quickly.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking bay we can reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank at the rear of the garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and business properties in Wiltshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a shed, provided that we can reach it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Heddington (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Wiltshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill the car any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up your car or truck. They can also take care of the usual problems that might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

A motorist had broken down near a street in Heddington. His Mazda motor had ceased operating and he'd no clue what was faulty until eventually he noticed he put petrol in his diesel vehicle.
