It was about eight pm on a Friday and although we were promised a rainless afternoon, it had not given up on raining! James and I were relaxing there discussing the weekend's golf results, waiting around for the 6th telephone call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we got the call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the BP filling station in Ditcheat and filled petrol in a diesel Mitsubishi rental by mistake. The unfortunate thing was rather irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to fret, and that such things sadly often happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe position and, seeing that it was just a few miles off from where we were, we were able to reach the woman without delay. The bad fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off relaxed and not so anxious. Another job in Somerset done well in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Somerset we have identified an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure how to to make use of (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the car.

So, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us if you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to attend to all types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol is likely to bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of fully, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both circumstances fairly quickly.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car parking bay we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank sitting in the rear of the garden full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and business premises in Somerset to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a shed, as long as we can get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Ditcheat (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill the car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to refill the car. They will be able to deal with the standard issues that can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Ditcheat - Ditcheat Wrong Fuel Doctor

Last week a driver phoned us right after his Kia stopped along a street in Ditcheat. He had mistakenly put the incorrect fuel in the diesel vehicle and got to the street before needing to give up. It was still early in the morning and our engineer, who resides locally, reached him in approximately a quarter hour. We managed to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel once again in the vehicle. "Thank you for your immediate response, and in particular at 5 a.m., I am grateful for it."
