It was around 10 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and me were seated there discussing the recent footy rankings, ready for the next job for the day to arrive. Finally we got the call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Chapel Allerton and filled petrol in a diesel MINI rental car. The unfortunate thing was very irritated it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to worry, also that these things sadly can happen. She had managed to move the car into a secure space and, seeing that it was only a few minutes from our van, we were able to reach the lady quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to return to the motel she was living at. Even though we got really wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive home calm and a lot less worried. A job in Somerset well done in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

All over Somerset we are noticing a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a consequence of motorists not understanding the way to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained asap. And definitely do not start the engine - not even to shift it to a parking area. If you have started the car you will probably have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a serious matter to address in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol will often produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations pretty swiftly.

Take note though that if the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir in the rear of your garden with old, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Somerset to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Chapel Allerton (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) to refill your car or truck. They are also able to take care of any of the standard troubles that might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
