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

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Wiltshire we are encountering more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it immediately. And definitely never switch on the car - not even to shift it from the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you would likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important condition to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel will likely cause idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both cases pretty easily.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel container laying in the rear of the garden containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in Wiltshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a garage, if we can reach it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Stitchcombe (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Wiltshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill the car any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) to fill up your automobile. They can also handle the usual troubles which might go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
