It was close to 8 pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were seated commenting on the weekend's tennis rankings, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain to come in. Eventually we received a phone call from a woman on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Barlake and filled petrol in a diesel Audi rental. She was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the car! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and also that things like this sadly happen. She was able to get the car to a secure position and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles off from the office, we could get to her quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could go home to the motel she was lodging in. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home satisfied and less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Somerset done well in my books!

Services Our Company Offers:

Below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Somerset we are identifying progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to people not being totally sure the way to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the car.

Well, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it immediately. And most certainly never start up the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. If you have started the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to handle in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can potentially result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases rather easily.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to an automobile parking spot we are able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel container placed at the back of your garden with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and industrial properties in Somerset to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even numerous containers in a storage shed, providing we can access it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Barlake (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up the car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) to refill your car or truck. They will be able to deal with the usual issues that can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Barlake, Somerset

Wrong Fuel Barlake - Barlake Wrong Fuel

A customer contacted us from his residence on a close in Barlake. He explained, "My vehicle (a Skoda) is not running and is creating very bad sounds when I turn the key." He said that he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would remedy the problem by putting further Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, carried out the drain and filled it up again with clean Diesel. He told us that he'd be certain to advise people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to get it cleaned out immediately.
