It was after six pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were sitting discussing the recent sports results, waiting around for the 6th call that day to arrive. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Hardington and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Dacia rental by mistake. She was very affected it seemed, stating "I cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that such things do happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a protected area and, seeing as it was just a short distance off from the office, we could find the customer quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was living at.

Our Areas of Competence :

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Somerset we are identifying more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly due to motorists not being totally sure how to use it (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will handle all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually an important situation to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank may produce idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both circumstances very easily.

You should know however that if the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank sitting in the back of the garden full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and commercial premises in Somerset to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even several drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Hardington (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill the car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) to refill your car or truck. They are also able to handle the usual troubles that might go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
