It was just before ten pm on a Wednesday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were relaxing there discussing the weekend's rugby rankings, waiting for the 6th telephone call that day to arrive. Before long we had the call from a woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Haydon and put petrol in her diesel MINI lease car in error. She was fairly affected by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and also that these things can happen. She was able to relocate the car into a secure spot and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance off from us, we were able to get to the customer quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the hotel she was staying at.

Our Areas of Competence :

Do you or your drivers often misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any connected issues.

AdBlue In your Fuel

What you should do in case you may have poured Adblue in your Diesel fuel tank? Adblue tends to be disastrous to your car's fuel system, especially in cases where you started the car with Adblue in your diesel tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the Adblue will undoubtedly be pushed into your fuel lines and will immediately begin to crystalise, resulting in serious and expensive damage to your car's fuel system.

If you find you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out asap. And most definitely never switch on the car - not even to shift it away from the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you will likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious situation to take care of in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel may produce idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both situations pretty easily.

Bear in mind though that if the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir at the rear of your garden full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and business premises in Somerset to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.
