It was close to 6 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were relaxing there talking over the recent footy, waiting for the sixth fuel drain of the day to arrive. Finally we had a call from a woman on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Dunster and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Honda hire car in error. She was somewhat agitated it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that such things happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a protected position and, seeing that it was just a few minutes from where we were, we were able to reach the customer fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was residing in.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Somerset we have discovered a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially due to motorists being unsure of how to work with it (note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the car.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it right away. And most certainly do not turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. If you have started the vehicle you may most likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant issue to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol can result in idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both circumstances rather simply.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a car parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Got an old fuel container laying in the back of the garden with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and business premises in Somerset for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a garage, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Run out of fuel in Dunster (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home.
