It was after eight pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and me were seated talking about the recent footy, ready for the 8th job of the day to arrive. In due time we had a call from a woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Lopen Head and filled petrol in her diesel BMW rental car by mistake. She was rather troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I simply can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to fret, and that such things unfortunately can happen. She was able to move the car to a safe area and, as it was just a short distance from us, we were able to get to the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the hotel she was lodging in. Although we got really drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive home satisfied and a lot less stressed. Another misfuel correction in Somerset well done in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

In Somerset we have found a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of people not understanding the right way to work with it (note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Since the product is mainly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Phone us in the event that you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to attend to all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a significant condition to handle in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol can certainly trigger idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both circumstances very simply.

Remember however that if the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close to parking spot we can reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Have a fuel tank sitting at the back of your premises with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in Somerset to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Lopen Head (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home.
