It was just before seven pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and me were resting there discussing the sports results, at the ready for the sixth call to come in. Before long we received a phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Burnworthy and put petrol in her diesel Peugeot rental by mistake. The poor lady was pretty affected it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to fret, and also that things like this happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a protected space and, as it was only a short distance off from our van, we could find her right away. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was lodging at.

Do you or your employees usually misfuel your vehicle? We can solve any connected problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Somerset we are encountering more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a result of people not knowing how to use it (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out at once. And definitely be careful not to start the motor - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In the event that you have started the car you may almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to deal with in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol can easily produce idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both situations quite swiftly.

Be aware though that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir lying at the back of your premises with aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial premises in Somerset to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even some drums in a storage shed, if we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Burnworthy (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your vehicle if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and refill your car. They will be able to handle any of the most common problems which can go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Burnworthy - Burnworthy Fuel Drain

I enjoyed a perfect afternoon cycling during my off day and felt delighted the next morning as I set out to assist a new family away in Burnworthy. They'd conked out after filling petrol in their Dacia, and they were around half an hour away. I showed up at their position and laughed to myself while I listened to the wife telling off her husband for being so daft. "Just how could you conceivably find a way to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this situation occurs continuously in Somerset and that it's truly absolutely nothing to be concerned about, however he all the same got an ear bashing by his missus. Unlucky guy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. While they drove away I waved farewell and thought about what my wife would say to me if I made the very same error... I'd personally never ever live it down!
