It was close to 10 pm on a Monday and though we were promised a dry day, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Mark and I were seated there talking over the golf, ready for the sixth telephone call of the day to arrive. Finally we had the phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Knott Oak and put the wrong fuel in a diesel MINI rental in error. She was rather agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that things like this regrettably do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a secure area and, because it was just a short distance from where we were, we could arrive at the lady swiftly. The bad fuel was drained so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away relaxed and less anxious. Another fuel drain in Somerset well done in my books!

Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your car? We can solve any associated issues.

AdBlue Contamination

What you can do in the event that you?ve put Adblue in your Diesel tank? AdBlue is a liquid made from a blend of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water.It tends to be damaging to your car's fuel system, especially any time you started the car with Adblue in your fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been started up the Adblue will undoubtedly be injected into your fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, bringing about serious and expensive harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

If you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly do not switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking area. If you did start the vehicle you will most likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important matter to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol will likely cause idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both cases pretty easily.

You should know however that any time the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}
