It was before 5 pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Paul and I were resting going over the tennis rankings, at the ready for the seventh job of the day to arrive. Finally we got the call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Farleigh and put petrol in her diesel Volvo hire car in error. The poor thing was quite troubled apparently, saying "I still cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that such things regrettably often happen. She managed to move the car into a secure space and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes off from our van, we were able to find the lady quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive away contented and not so apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Somerset well done in my opinion!

We are willing to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Somerset we have encountered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a result of people not being totally sure how to use it (important: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Phone us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to correct all types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a significant situation to deal with in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank can certainly lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both circumstances quite easily.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir at the rear of the garden containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and industrial properties in Somerset for the purpose 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. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps several drums in a shed, if we are able to access it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Farleigh (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a complete Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to refill your vehicle. They will fix the most common issues that can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Farleigh - Farleigh Fuel Drain

Last week a youngster contacted us when his Toyota ground to a halt on a road in Farleigh. He had inadvertently put petrol in the diesel vehicle and was only able to get to the street before being forced to halt. It was still early in the morning and our technical engineer, who resides close by, got to him in less than 20 minutes. We managed to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel yet again in the car. "Thank you for your timely response, particularly at 1 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."
