It was around ten pm on a Monday and though we were promised a dry evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! James and I were resting there talking over the recent rugby rankings, waiting for the sixth call that day to come in. Before long we had a phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Kibbear and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Dacia rental. The unfortunate lady was fairly troubled apparently, saying "I still cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that these things sadly do happen. She managed to move the car into a secure space and, as it was only a few minutes from our van, we were able to arrive at the lady without delay. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Even though we got really drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off calm and much less concerned. Another fuel drain in Somerset well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Somerset we are encountering a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to drivers being unsure of the way to use it (be aware: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you find yourself in this predicament don?t panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our experts possess the practical expertise and experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important issue to deal with in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel will produce idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both cases fairly simply.

Be aware however that if the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel tank laying at the rear of your premises full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and business premises in Somerset for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a garage, assuming that we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Kibbear (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your vehicle if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and refill the car. They can also take care of any of the most common problems which could go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
