It was close to 9 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were relaxing there talking about the weekend's sports, waiting around for the 8th telephone call to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Swindon and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Mercedes lease car. The poor lady was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to fret, plus that things like this often happen. She had managed to move the car to a protected area and, since it was just a short distance from the office, we were able to find the woman almost instantly.

Listed below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Wiltshire we are finding a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by motorists not being aware of the right way to to make use of (please note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the car.

Well, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And obviously take care not to start the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking area. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may very likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely an important matter to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol may lead to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both circumstances rather quickly.

Take note that as long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to an automobile parking spot we will be able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container in the back of your garden with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial premises in Wiltshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even numerous containers in a garage, if we can get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Swindon (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Wiltshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and refill your car. They will be able to deal with any of the typical troubles that might go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Swindon - Swindon Vehicle Misfuel

Last monday a young man telephoned us after his Peugeot died in the middle of a street in Swindon. He had inadvertently put petrol in the diesel vehicle and drove so far as the street before needing to give up. It was yet early in the day and our fuel drainer, who resides locally, was with him in approximately a quarter hour. We managed to drain the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel back into the vehicle. "Thank you for your immediate response, and in particular at 4 a.m., I really appreciate it."
