It was just before 5 pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a rainless day, it had not stopped raining! Ray and I were resting commenting on the tennis results, prepared for the sixth fuel drain to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Ash and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Mitsubishi rental in error. The unfortunate thing was somewhat affected apparently, telling me "I cannot believe I've ruined the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to fret, and that such things unfortunately do happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a safe area and, as it was only a few minutes away from our van, we were able to find the lady almost instantly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was living in. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away contented and not so anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Somerset done well in my books!

We are ready to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Somerset we have encountered a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly due to drivers not understanding how to work with it (note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to handle every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question an important issue to take care of in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can produce idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both circumstances quite easily.

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

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated 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 an automobile parking spot we are able to access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank lying in the rear of your garden full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and industrial premises in Somerset to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a shed, assuming that we can get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Ash (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to refill your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill your car. They will fix any of the common troubles that could come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Ash - Ash Wrong Fuel Assist

A motorist had stopped just off a road in Ash. His Chevrolet motor had stopped functioning and he had no idea what was wrong until he realised he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and that's when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I didn't know that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He claimed that he had gotten zero rest the evening before and that could have been the reason.
