It was about ten pm on a Tuesday and while we were promised a dry and fresh day, it had not ceased raining! Ryan and me were relaxing talking over the golf rankings, waiting around for the seventh call for the day to arrive. Before long we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Nailwell and filled petrol in a diesel Hyundai rental by mistake. She was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to fret, plus that things like this regrettably can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a safe space and, seeing as it was just a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to reach her without delay. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could return to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home satisfied and less worried. A misfuel correction in Somerset done well in my mind!

We can assist you with all these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Somerset we have seen increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly due to drivers not being aware of how to work with it (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it right away. And obviously be careful not to start the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would probably have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important matter to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel will lead to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations fairly expediently.

You should know that whenever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to parking spot we can reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container in the back of your premises full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and commercial premises in Somerset to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a garage, as long as we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Nailwell (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up the car any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and refill your vehicle. They will handle any of the usual issues that might go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Nailwell - Nailwell Fuel Removal

A motorist had conked out off a street in Nailwell. His Toyota car had ceased functioning and he had no clue what was faulty until he realised he put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to get a fuel drain and that's when he informed us: "I can't believe that I didn't realise that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had gotten absolutely no rest the evening before and that could have been precisely why.
