It was about five pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a dry day, it had not ceased raining! Dan and me were sitting talking over the footy, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain to arrive. Inevitably we got a phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Burtle Hill and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Lexus rental in error. She was very troubled apparently, telling me "I can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to worry, also that such things unfortunately do happen.

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Somerset we are encountering an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of drivers not knowing how to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained asap. And most definitely be careful not to turn over the car - not even to move it to a parking place. In the instance that you did start the car you may in all probability need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually an important matter to handle in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel is likely to trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both cases very quickly.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car parking spot we will be able to access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel.

Wrong Fuel Burtle Hill - Burtle Hill Fuel Removal

I had a fantastic day cycling during my day off and was feeling pleased with myself the following morning as I set out to help a young family who were on holiday in Burtle Hill. They had broken down after adding petrol in their MG, and they were about half an hour's drive away. I got there at their car and laughed while I heard to the gal telling her spouse off for being so daft. "Just how could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this takes place on daily basis in Somerset and that it is nothing at all to be anxious about, nevertheless he all the same got his ear bent. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. Anyways, I removed all of the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some right fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted goodbye and considered what her indoors would ask me if ever I did the exact same thing... I would never ever live it down!
