It was before 7 pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were sitting there going over the weekend's golf results, waiting for the 8th call for the day to arrive. In due time we received the phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Marshalls Elm and filled petrol in a diesel Jaguar rental by mistake. She was very distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that things like this sadly can happen. She managed to relocate the car to a secure area and, since it was only a few minutes from us, we were able to arrive at the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was residing at. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off satisfied and less anxious. A fuel drain in Somerset well done in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Somerset we have discovered an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of people not being aware of the way to use it (important: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained at once. And absolutely never start up the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. In case you did start the vehicle you will most likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important condition to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can certainly result in idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both cases fairly simply.

Be aware however that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir lying at the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and business properties in Somerset for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in an outbuilding, if we can reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Marshalls Elm (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to fill up your car. They will deal with any of the common troubles which can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
