It was around eight pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were seated discussing the weekend's football, waiting for the next call of the day to come in. Finally we got the call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Lower Wraxall and filled petrol in a diesel Kia hire car in error. She was somewhat troubled apparently, saying "I can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to fret, and also that these things happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected spot and, as it was just a few minutes from where we were, we were able to reach the woman rather quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she was able to go home to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off relaxed and much less stressed. One more fuel drain in Somerset well done in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

In Somerset we are identifying an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially thanks to drivers being unsure of the way to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Contact us if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to fix all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a significant issue to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel may well cause idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases rather simply.

Take note that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to an automobile parking bay we will be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank in the back of your premises full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business premises in Somerset for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to reach it, we can empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Lower Wraxall (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and refill your car. They are also able to fix the most common issues that could come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Lower Wraxall - Lower Wraxall Fuel Drain

I had a perfect day hiking during my off day and was feeling contented the next morning as I set out to aid a young couple who were on holiday in Lower Wraxall. They'd pulled over after adding diesel into their Kia, and were around an hour's travel away. I showed up at their position and laughed while I heard to the girl berating her man for actually being so foolish. "Just how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this problem goes on quite frequently in Somerset and that it's nothing to stress about, and yet he yet still got an earful by his missus. I felt sorry for the chap. At any rate, I extracted all the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive off I shouted farewell and wondered what her indoors would tell me if I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never hear the end of it!
