It was around 8 pm on a Saturday and while we were promised a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped raining! James and me were resting commenting on the recent tennis rankings, ready for the 8th job for the day to come in. Inevitably we had a call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Bridgetown and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Peugeot hire car in error. The unfortunate lady was very troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I can't believe I've ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to worry, and that such things happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a safe position and, because it was no more than a few minutes from our van, we were able to find the customer rather quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could get back to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off satisfied and not so concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Somerset done well in my mind!

Our Fields of Expertise:

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your vehicle? We can fix any connected problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Somerset we have found more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of people not understanding the way to work with it (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily correct different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to handle in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol can potentially result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations fairly easily.

Bear in mind though that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir in the back of the garden containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial properties in Somerset to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even numerous containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Bridgetown (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) and fill up your vehicle. They will be able to deal with any of the usual troubles that can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Bridgetown - Bridgetown Fuel Drain

A couple weeks ago a youngster phoned us when his Lexus ground to a halt on a road in Bridgetown. He had by mistake put petrol in the diesel motor and drove to the street before needing to give up. It was actually early in the day and our fuel drainer, who stays not far away, reached him in approximately 15 minutes. We managed to take out the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel once again in the vehicle. "Genuine thanks to you for your timely response, and in particular at 4 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."
