It was about seven pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless evening, it had not stopped raining! James and I were resting there discussing the recent rugby, prepared for the 6th call for the day to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a girl on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Berkley Down and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Mitsubishi hire car in error. She was very affected by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that things like this sadly can happen. She had managed to get the car to a safe spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we could find the customer quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact we got really wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive off satisfied and less concerned. A misfuel correction in Somerset well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Somerset we are encountering more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from motorists not knowing the right way to to make use of (be aware: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it right away. And absolutely be careful not to start up the motor - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you will likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually an important situation to handle in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol is likely to produce idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not addressed effectively, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both cases rather simply.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to a number of private and business properties in Somerset for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it.
