Wrong Fuel Edingworth - Edingworth Fuel Drain

Just had a quality night's sleep! 7:30 on a gloomy Sunday and I was en route to help an elder lady who put petrol in her diesel MINI in Edingworth. She told us that she drove away from the filling station forecourt and was stranded in a country road on the way to visit her family. I got the location plugged into the Satnav and was with her in less than 60 minutes. I arrived at the destination and drained the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle.

I completed the drain and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. What a lovely Somerset lady!

Our Services:

Listed below are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

In Somerset we are identifying more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially as a consequence of motorists not being aware of the right way to to make use of (note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And most certainly don't turn over the engine - not even to shift it away from the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you would most likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to address in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank will likely trigger idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both situations rather swiftly.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container in the rear of your premises with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and industrial properties in Somerset to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in a garage, as long as we can reach it, we can drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Edingworth (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your car. They will fix any of the usual troubles which may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Edingworth - Edingworth Wrong Fuel Drain

A driver from Edingworth with a full car of children in her diesel MINI had filled her vehicle with £20 of petrol at the Sainsburys petrol station. She phoned us sobbing and really upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel car before and didn't know what might happen to her car in doing so. We reassured her that the car should be fine and that she would be on the road very quickly. When we arrived she was visible distressed but as our engineer started work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she saw that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She soon enough brightened up and was on her way saying, "I can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my car! Especially with the youngsters in the back."

He phoned us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I did not know that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He stated that he had gotten virtually no sleep the night before and that must have been why.
