It was close to 9 pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not ceased raining! Paul and I were sitting going over the weekend's golf rankings, ready for the 8th telephone call for the day to arrive. Finally we received the call from a young lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Preston and put petrol in a diesel MG rental. She was rather irritated it seemed, crying "I simply can't believe I've wrecked the car! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably can happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a protected position and, since it was only a short distance from us, we could arrive at her fairly quickly. The bad fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the motel she was staying at.

Our Areas of Competence :

Helping you get back on the road is our primary goal.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Wiltshire we have encountered progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of people being unsure of the right way to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to take care of every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in fuel is likely to trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both cases pretty simply.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel container sitting in the back of the garden full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and industrial properties in Wiltshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a storage shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Preston (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Wiltshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill the car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) to fill up the car. They are also able to handle any of the normal problems which could go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Preston - Preston Vehicle Misfuel

I enjoyed a perfect afternoon fishing on my afternoon off and was feeling delighted the following day as I set out to aid a new family on holiday in Preston. They'd stopped after inserting diesel in their Nissan, and the car was close to half an hour's drive away. I got there at their location and smirked to myself as I listened to the gal telling off her hubby for being so confused. "Precisely how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I tried to explain that this situation happens on daily basis in Wiltshire and that it is nothing at all to be anxious about, nevertheless he still had an ear bashing by his wife. I felt sorry for the guy. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved good bye and pondered on what my wife would say to me in the event that I did the very same thing... I would personally never hear the end of it!
